The Brazilian was Tottenham Hotspur&#8217;s top scorer last season with 12 goals across all competitions, making him the club&#8217;s only player to reach double figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ahead of a potential arrival for Richarlison, we&#8217;ve built a combined XI of stars who once graced Europe&#8217;s top five leagues who you may not have realised now play in Turkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-turkish-super-lig-combined-xi-of-ex-top-five-league-players\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Turkish Super Lig combined XI of ex-top five league players<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-gk-ederson\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">GK: Ederson<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Manchester City icon who won six <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/premier-league\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Premier League<\/a> titles and a Champions League across his 372 games for the club, Ederson has been representing Fenerbahce since the start of last season. The 32-time Brazil international helped the Yellow Canaries to a fifth consecutive runner-up finish in the Super Lig in 2025\/26 and will look to end their 12-year title drought this time around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Honourable mention: <\/strong>Andre Onana<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-rb-nelson-semedo\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">RB: Nelson Semedo<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joining Ederson at Sukru Saracoglu Stadium is Nelson Semedo. The Portugal international has enjoyed an eye-catching career path, winning titles at Benfica and Barcelona before becoming Wolves&#8217; undisputed starting right-back during a period of steady decline that would eventually lead to relegation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Semedo made 40 appearances for Fenerbahce across all competitions last season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Honourable mentions: <\/strong>Wilfried Singo, Roland Sallai, Amir Murillo<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-cb-davinson-sanchez\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">CB: Davinson Sanchez<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Davinson Sanchez was never quite reliable enough during his time with Tottenham, but he still played a key role in helping the Lilywhites reach Champions League and EFL Cup finals, while keeping them established as continental regulars. The Colombian has been with Galatasaray since the start of the 2023\/24 campaign, helping them win three straight league titles, a Turkish Cup and a Turkish Super Cup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Honourable mention: <\/strong>Caglar Soyuncu<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-cb-milan-skriniar\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">CB: Milan Skriniar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At his peak, Milan Skriniar was among the most formidable centre-backs in Europe, mopping up titles with Inter and PSG<a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierleague.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">.<\/a> Those days are gone now, but he&#8217;s still going strong at a high level, playing alongside Ederson and Semedo at Fenerbahce. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Honourable mention: <\/strong>Jayden Oosterwolde<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-lb-nathan-ake\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">LB: Nathan Ake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Given the names we&#8217;ve rattled off, it&#8217;s a wonder Fenerbahce have gone so long without a title. Nathan Ake joined the collection of former top five stars as he left Manchester City this summer. The Dutchman &#8212; who can play left-back and centre-back &#8212; suffered from injury problems during his last couple of years at the Etihad Stadium, but was still a vital player for Pep Guardiola due to his versatility. Ake also represented the Netherlands at the World Cup this summer and is still a considerable force at the back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Honourable mention: <\/strong>Arthur Masuaku<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-dm-fabinho\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">DM: Fabinho<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If it was coming down to absolute quality at his peak, N&#8217;Golo Kante would likely edge it out in this position. However, Fabinho left the Saudi Pro League for Trabzonspor fresh from playing three times for Brazil at the World Cup this summer. The former Liverpool man is still only 32 years old and should have plenty to offer to the seven-time Turkish champions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Honourable mentions: <\/strong>N&#8217;Golo Kante, Lucas Torreira, Wilfred Ndidi, Lesley Ugochukwu<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"vcsw-sports-widgets shortcode vcsw-outright-odds\" id=\"outright-odds-1\"><script type=\"application\/json\">{\"sports_type\":\"football\",\"widget_type\":\"outright-odds\",\"show_title\":\"true\",\"competition\":\"6a1e39f6dd2a4896f26f07e8\",\"active_market\":\"Outright Winner\",\"items_to_show\":\"10\",\"data_markets\":[{\"_id\":\"Outright Winner\",\"name\":\"Outright Winner\"}]}<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-cm-ilkay-gundogan\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">CM: Ilkay Gundogan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ilkay Gundogan was just as prominent as Ederson and Ake in that all-conquering Manchester City side, before ending his second tenure at the club in 2025. The 82-time Germany international notched two goals and three assists in 24 Super Lig appearances last season to help Galatasaray win their fourth straight title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Honourable mentions: <\/strong>Matteo Guendouzi, Fabio Miretti<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-rw-mohamed-salah\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">RW: Mohamed Salah<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arguably the most monumental signing in Super Lig history, Mohamed Salah brought his incredible Liverpool tenure to an end with 257 goals and nine pieces of silverware in the bag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trabzonspor was certainly a surprise destination for the Egyptian, but that just showcases the financial muscle in Turkey. It&#8217;s hoped his arrival will help rekindle the title success of 2021\/22 and the 1970s and 80s for the side that has consistently disrupted the Istanbul aristocracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Salah has already scored three goals in three Super Lig appearances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Honourable mention: <\/strong>Leroy Sane<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-am-marcos-asensio\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">AM: Marcos Asensio<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marcos Asensio never quite hit the heights expected of him back in the day, but he&#8217;s still a 38-time Spain international with multiple league titles and Champions Leagues under his belt from his Real Madrid and PSG days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 30-year-old has been the cornerstone of Fenerbahce&#8217;s attack over the past year, though he&#8217;s recently had to dismiss rumours about his fitness after missing their last two matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Honourable mention: <\/strong>Enis Bardhi<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-lw-rafael-leao\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">LW: Rafael Leao<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rafael Leao spent the last seven years being one of AC Milan&#8217;s most important attacking pieces, helping them win a Serie A title, while he was constantly linked with other European giants. However, when he did finally leave the San Siro, it was to join Galatasaray in a deal worth just over \u00a332m. Leao is set to make his debut in an Istanbul derby against Basaksehir and will be under immense pressure to deliver for Turkey&#8217;s current dominant force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Honourable mention: <\/strong>Leandro Trossard<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-cf-victor-osimhen\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">CF: Victor Osimhen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the reasons Galatasaray have remained so dominant is the goals of Victor Osimhen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Picking Galatasaray following his fallout with Napoli in 2024 was on nobody&#8217;s bingo card, but the Nigerian heading into a third season with the Lions is even more unexpected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Osimhen has scored 64 goals in 77 appearances for Galatasaray across all competitions so far, which includes a formidable record of 13 goals in 17 continental outings &#8212; proving he remains among Europe&#8217;s top strikers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still only 27 years old, Osimhen is the Super Lig&#8217;s most valuable player right now and continues to be linked with a return to Europe&#8217;s top five leagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Honourable mentions: <\/strong>Dusan Vlahovic, Romelu Lukaku, Youssoufa Moukoko<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/09\/04123545\/line-up_4-2-3-1-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1484811\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/09\/04123545\/line-up_4-2-3-1-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/09\/04123545\/line-up_4-2-3-1-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/09\/04123545\/line-up_4-2-3-1-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/09\/04123545\/line-up_4-2-3-1-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/09\/04123545\/line-up_4-2-3-1-214x267.jpg 214w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/09\/04123545\/line-up_4-2-3-1-160x200.jpg 160w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/09\/04123545\/line-up_4-2-3-1-48x60.jpg 48w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/09\/04123545\/line-up_4-2-3-1-120x150.jpg 120w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/09\/04123545\/line-up_4-2-3-1-59x74.jpg 59w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/09\/04123545\/line-up_4-2-3-1.jpg 1620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/\"><strong>Latest football news<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football betting tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best betting sites<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/best-free-bet-offers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best free bet offers<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/accumulator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football accumulator tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Turkish Super League has been on another major recruitment drive this summer.
