My Take
Orkun Kökçü is exactly the kind of midfielder I love to watch develop. Born in Haarlem but committed to Turkey, he carries a clear sense of identity, and at Beşiktaş he wears the captain's armband despite his youth. At 175 cm he wins nothing through size; instead he relies on a gorgeous left foot, set-piece precision, and vision. His Dutch Footballer of the Year recognition was the moment he caught my eye for good. To me his early leadership signals a maturity that hints at a high ceiling. I am genuinely curious how far his game can grow.
