Zeki Celik is Turkey's first-choice right-back, a tireless, attack-minded defender who developed into a consistent Ligue 1 performer at Lille before joining AS Roma in 2022. Under José Mourinho and subsequently Daniele De Rossi at Roma, he has been a dependable squad member in Serie A, offering energy down the flank and a willingness to defend aggressively. He is not the most technically refined full-back in Europe, but his work rate, positional discipline, and ability to contribute in transition make him a reliable fixture in Turkey's defensive setup across multiple tournament cycles.
