Orkun Kökçü

Orkun Kökçü is Beşiktaş’s Platinum Engine in midfield, a tempo-setter who brings a 10-trophy résumé from Feyenoord and Benfica into the Süper Lig. Born in Haarlem and shaped by both Dutch and Turkish football cultures, he offers a rare two-footed playmaker profile at the heart of the pitch.

His season is built on reliability and volume: 17 appearances, 1430 minutes and the main card in 12 matches underline his status as a cornerstone. At the core of a 91 overall rating sits an outstanding 87 in Passing, the platform for a playmaking game that earns him the ARCHITECT badge with 3.34 key passes per 90. There is edge to his possession work too: 2.0 shots per 90, 2 goals and the THREAT badge show he punishes space around the box. With 2 goals and 1 assist across his last five outings, a perfect 100 form score and a +318% upswing, he is clearly on an upward trajectory, while a 72 season ability and 82 skills rating provide a stable technical baseline.

Valued at around €28M with a stable Stakes profile, Kökçü looks every inch a long-term centrepiece for Beşiktaş. In any crunch match, his ability to dictate the rhythm and deliver one decisive pass has the potential to tilt the balance and unlock a winner-takes-all moment.
