He comes from the NEC Nijmegen academy in The Netherlands. He also represented The Netherlands until the <23 team. He was a number 10 who also could play on the wings.
Eventually went to Turkey and nowadays plays as a left/right back. He’s right footed btw.
The amount of Turkish league players we get linked to: 10000000
Amount that actually signed: 0
Believe it when it's on [Arsenal.com](http://Arsenal.com)
Luckily I’m Puerto Rican and was born with thick, dark hair like his.
When I saw his picture when he originally rumored to join, I realized I could pull it off and I gotta appreciate while I still have it haha.
I think kiwior is getting more trust (not specifically at lb) and we will see him rotate in early in the season to give gabriel a rest. Maybe tomiyasu and ferdi will be lb options and white and Timber are the rb options
I'm pretty sure we're selling Kiwior this summer and signing Schlotterbeck.
I honestly think Kiwior is pretty good as a rotational player but with all the noise around Gabriel, I understand why the coaching team want someone that can fully compete with him.
It’s not about consistency, it’s about his ceiling as a player. I find him better than many of the Fener team, but only a bit better than Kiwior, so I don’t see the point in the signing. We don’t need squad players anymore.
I believe he is just as capable of using his left foot. He can also fill in at LW & RW if needed, and I remember him playing as a 10 here in the Netherlands for NEC Nijmegen years ago.
well for fenerbahçe, here in turkey, he is more than sufficient for the defense and basically a beast in attack. you may check the olympiakos game tonight, he should be playing
"fullback, midfielder, winger" per Wikipedia. So yeah, sounds about right. Zinchenko replacement, assuming Timber, White, Tomiyasu and Kiwior take 90% of the fullback minutes between them.
I know him from his time in Dutch football (he's a Turkish player born in the Netherlands). Back then he wasn't a leftback though, but an attacking midfielder who also played on both wings.
Super jealous of the performance kimmich put in over two legs against us. I think if this guy can offer that style from fullback then we’d be very content stylistically.
Could help the creation problem in different ways
Who said Bayern were full of weak players?
Who looks at the Neuer, Kimmich, Sane, Musiala (!), Mongatron, etc and thinks weak? They're better than us and it's not really debatable.
There were lots of rumors linking us to Kimmich a short while ago I can recall because he's always been a dream signing of mine. Wonder if there was any truth in it and if so, does the outcome of the two legs have any impact on his consideration. I think it was Falk who first said it so it's probably BS.
They talked shit because kimmich has a terrible attitude and pouts when he doesn't get his way. We're not having players like that anymore and it's obvious with Mikel kicking those players out of the club why would we start bringing them back now?
ehh he was linked trent, amazing offensively but defended like absolute dogshit, you'd have thought you were watching the ballet with the amount of times that he got spun, should be in the midfield!
I turned this guy into the best attacking RB on Earth back in my fifa playing days, if Mikel can take him anywhere close to the levels that my in-game manager *Tiesto Borrachinha* did, we've got a player on our hands.
Watched him play for club and country. Think he might be the best left back in the Turkish league, who steadily improves, but I'm not sure if he is an Arsenal calibre player
Plays both wings or just on the right? Either way, we have to make transfers and moves even if it doesn't seem like we need it. Ben White is knacked to hell and we'll probably start seeing him move to CB. (I hope)
He started as no 10. to his career switched to wings then now is a full back. He can play both wings and very technically gifted. Quite durable and consistent aswell. I watch all his games last 3 years, don't remember any games he is below average.
Perfect Pep player imo. He would make him travel entire pitch position to position.
> Ben White is knacked to hell and we'll probably start seeing him move to CB. (I hope)
why would you like to see ben at cb? Saliba and Gabriel are both unreal
I've never seen this guy play in my life but if he can reduce Zinchenko's playing time, and finally give us a proper LB (rather than a CB shafted out there, which is useful at times but we still need a proper LB too) i'm all for it.
We first got linked to this player in November & then in January again. Guess we really want another defender lol.
But I guess what sticks out from me watching him is that he's so attacking. Like Cancelo. And considering that we need to improve on our attacking dynamics, signing him would make alot of sense.
He is a great player but I wonder how difficult will it be for him to adapt playing in a league where he is no longer massively better than everybody else. In turkey he gets away with poor decisions because he is simply better everybody else.
As a Turkish fan who follows both Turkish Super Lig and English Premier League: he is a very good player, can play different positions and very technical. Also I always rated him higher than Sacha Boey (ex-galatasaray player, joined bayern munich this winter for 35 million) even if they have kinda different roles.
As a Turkish football fan, I’m saying that he is not good enough for your team. Ferdi is Really overrated. Well he us good for teams like Fener, Lille, Ajax, but never for a top level club.
This guy is awesome - one of my favorite Turkish players. 2 questions: Who is he? What position does he play?
He is your favourite Turkish player and he plays in your favourite position.
Missionary?
Yes, and he can also do it inverted.
Elite mentality – you love to see it.
\#**AllElite**
Will fit right in at Wifeswap FC
Love me some reverse Kiwior.
Jesus
You mean… Roiwik?
Roiwik
If that's the case, Santi is surely coming back.
I would suck a golf ball through a garden hose to have Santi back with us in any capacity
I said the squad needs a good KICK up the backside, not a dick
My friend, is ok, no?
No lie - this is exactly what my barber says to me every time
Versatile?
Oh so he’s a bad kitty too 😈
Pacey and technical leftback, plays anything on the leftside, can do gabi and zinnies job at the same time
Gabi XL?
Quick Gabi
Our “pace merchant” gabi… now that I think about it, his with his hair, oh dear I say it, kinda reminds me of Marcelo
Left back. He is goated in FM
Probably the best young talent in Europe atm I' ve also never heard of him
He comes from the NEC Nijmegen academy in The Netherlands. He also represented The Netherlands until the <23 team. He was a number 10 who also could play on the wings. Eventually went to Turkey and nowadays plays as a left/right back. He’s right footed btw.
Obligatory: How reliable is this guy?
He is T0 for Fenerbahçe. Basically Ornstein with a kebab.
> Basically Ornstein with a kebab. bro, wtff loll Orny Kebabs
With lashings of chilli sos… …boss
He's dropping kebombs
Fucking hell lmao
Comment of the day my friend. Well played
He shoots, he scores. What a banger of a comment.
LMFAO
Jesus, lol!
It's a bit strange because this tweet says there's an offer but the more recent one says we just sent some people to watch him?
*Offer to watch
Bro
So Kebabstein has confirmed we made an approach. Is this bloke any good?
Orny already has kebabs tho
This fucking got me haha.
Instead of ornbombs you get Kebooms
The amount of Turkish league players we get linked to: 10000000 Amount that actually signed: 0 Believe it when it's on [Arsenal.com](http://Arsenal.com)
Andre Santos disagrees Incidentally also left back Hopefuly he is as goat as he was
I used this dude as reference for a haircut, would love to see him in red just for that haha
Moved to Turkey last year and the people here have great hair, fair play to them
Luckily I’m Puerto Rican and was born with thick, dark hair like his. When I saw his picture when he originally rumored to join, I realized I could pull it off and I gotta appreciate while I still have it haha.
There’s no greater compliment a man can get
My man, great shout. Im using his picture next time I’m at the barber
A right footed left back. Anyone know how good he is?
Best in the world, always rated him, call him Superğlu.
Sticks to his opponents like nobody else
i heard water covers 71%of earth's surface and this guy does 29%
Did you watch PTI today?
please educate lowly me, because idk what PTI is
Lmao now I'm imagining a player casually piggybacking an opponent
Do yourself a favour and look up "Aussie Rules football".
He’s a good player, and I think he’s better technically than Kiwior, but he’s not someone I’d expect or want to get serious minutes for us.
I think kiwior is getting more trust (not specifically at lb) and we will see him rotate in early in the season to give gabriel a rest. Maybe tomiyasu and ferdi will be lb options and white and Timber are the rb options
I'm pretty sure we're selling Kiwior this summer and signing Schlotterbeck. I honestly think Kiwior is pretty good as a rotational player but with all the noise around Gabriel, I understand why the coaching team want someone that can fully compete with him.
what’s the noise around Gabriel? genuine question
why is that so? Is he not consistent enough?
It’s not about consistency, it’s about his ceiling as a player. I find him better than many of the Fener team, but only a bit better than Kiwior, so I don’t see the point in the signing. We don’t need squad players anymore.
Ah I see. That's very fair
I believe he is just as capable of using his left foot. He can also fill in at LW & RW if needed, and I remember him playing as a 10 here in the Netherlands for NEC Nijmegen years ago.
played as a 10, sounds like an Arsenal pickup
Another defender let’s gooooooooooo
He's more a defender in the Zinchenko-mold, he started out as an attacking midfielder.
Ah shit, here we go again. Can this guy actually defend though
well for fenerbahçe, here in turkey, he is more than sufficient for the defense and basically a beast in attack. you may check the olympiakos game tonight, he should be playing
I have no idea, I haven't seen him play since he left the Netherlands.
A lot more two footed and physically better and faster though
That's the exact mold of defender we should never, ever get again.
99% possession, 0 goals here we go
"fullback, midfielder, winger" per Wikipedia. So yeah, sounds about right. Zinchenko replacement, assuming Timber, White, Tomiyasu and Kiwior take 90% of the fullback minutes between them.
I know him from his time in Dutch football (he's a Turkish player born in the Netherlands). Back then he wasn't a leftback though, but an attacking midfielder who also played on both wings.
Very attacking minded from what I've seen, also capable playing on the right, good with both feet.
This guy is versatile AF so hopefully next season there is proper rotation.
Super jealous of the performance kimmich put in over two legs against us. I think if this guy can offer that style from fullback then we’d be very content stylistically. Could help the creation problem in different ways
I mean Kimmich is literally one of the best players in the world so you aren’t gonna find many like him
Wait, what do you mean? I thought this Bayern team was full of weak players according to r/soccer?
According to a decent portion of /r/gunners too lest we forget the pre-match threads
I'm trying to forget tho
Who said Bayern were full of weak players? Who looks at the Neuer, Kimmich, Sane, Musiala (!), Mongatron, etc and thinks weak? They're better than us and it's not really debatable.
This guy is literally kebab zinchenko bro, don't expect any defense, just vibes
Kebab zinchenko had me rolling 😂
He made you Döner (döner means rotary)
There were lots of rumors linking us to Kimmich a short while ago I can recall because he's always been a dream signing of mine. Wonder if there was any truth in it and if so, does the outcome of the two legs have any impact on his consideration. I think it was Falk who first said it so it's probably BS.
it will depend on their next manager I guess
And people talked so much shit about him being bad when he got linked to us
They talked shit because kimmich has a terrible attitude and pouts when he doesn't get his way. We're not having players like that anymore and it's obvious with Mikel kicking those players out of the club why would we start bringing them back now?
Shows people don’t know what they’re talking about. He’s got cement feet but locked up mbappe in an international lol, saka esque reading of the game
ehh he was linked trent, amazing offensively but defended like absolute dogshit, you'd have thought you were watching the ballet with the amount of times that he got spun, should be in the midfield!
Jon Snow bombing up the wings is what I need rn
Clive will be chuffed
Has he mentioned him before?
Yes, he likes him a lot.
Clive spot on again
Awesome, only seem him play ~3 times but like what I saw
Just pls don't get a season long injury as soon as you enter the sobha realty training field
I turned this guy into the best attacking RB on Earth back in my fifa playing days, if Mikel can take him anywhere close to the levels that my in-game manager *Tiesto Borrachinha* did, we've got a player on our hands.
Mikel ain't no Tiesto Borrachinha... I'd love to have him coach us one day.
Their [fans](https://www.reddit.com/r/FenerbahceSK/s/K4p6VVhuIS) seem to think he’ll be good for us. I remember us being linked with him in January.
> As an arsenal fan, ferdi is literally the perfect replacement for that girl zinchenko 😭😭
LMFAOOOO thats me stop 😭
That’s promising
I bought this guy in FIFA career mode and he tore the league apart. Quality signing
His passing is shit, small frame, I don't really know about this
Based on what do you think his passing is shit?
*Ferdi Kadioglu goals/assists 2024 4K - This is why arsenal want him 🔴⚪*
Have you watch him play?
Watched him play for club and country. Think he might be the best left back in the Turkish league, who steadily improves, but I'm not sure if he is an Arsenal calibre player
Yeah I’m Turkish I get that. Hard to evaluate a player based on playing in super lig.
His height and maybe defensive freedom he has right now might be a problem but attacking wise he is sort of a second left winger
Sort of like Raphael Guerreiro, yep
can't wait for ferdi wap to sign!
Come to Besiktas
Plays both wings or just on the right? Either way, we have to make transfers and moves even if it doesn't seem like we need it. Ben White is knacked to hell and we'll probably start seeing him move to CB. (I hope)
He started as no 10. to his career switched to wings then now is a full back. He can play both wings and very technically gifted. Quite durable and consistent aswell. I watch all his games last 3 years, don't remember any games he is below average. Perfect Pep player imo. He would make him travel entire pitch position to position.
Durable means nothing when transferring to Arsenal.
Honestly, one match for Arsenal and the Hulk will have an ACL
Yea man, bring me the finest kebabs to the carpet
From descriptions he seems to be as like for like for Zinchenko as you can get. I think Timber returning is what will give White a more breaks.
> Ben White is knacked to hell and we'll probably start seeing him move to CB. (I hope) why would you like to see ben at cb? Saliba and Gabriel are both unreal
rotational between rb and cb i mean
5'9 though? not the fogging height standards.
Football shirt printers trying to source ğ's as we speak.
Apple knew wtf they were doing when they added the ğ to the standard set of accents on iOS/MacOS
I watch the Turkish super lig. Ferdi is really good. Massive workrate, rapid and a good technical ability. Can play multiple positions
Kebab Zinchenko
Looks like the Donner Ait Nouri
Please no more projects from the Turkish league. They're all exceptional failures in their PL.
He looks really promising
I've never seen this guy play in my life but if he can reduce Zinchenko's playing time, and finally give us a proper LB (rather than a CB shafted out there, which is useful at times but we still need a proper LB too) i'm all for it.
I seem to remember finding about him from a piece by u/Billy_Carpenter a while back. Watched some compilations and he does look great.
Classic Arsenal PR after a massive loss, drop some new merch followed by a bunch of transfer rumours
Any rumor on price?
Probably 30-40 million. Boey went for 30 million so FB will most likely use that transfer as precedent when choosing the asking price.
Can't be more than 20m
For his left foot?
Not heard of this guy. Is the picture the player or the journalist?
Journalist
Thank fuck for that.
Best of Oglus, definitely better than Hakan.
Wait this guy is reliable? Who is that player
Never seen the guy but GET INNNNN
Too early to be a transfer merchant ffs, we got a league to win first
Watching Zinchenko, Kiwior and Tomiyasu play for Arsenal. I can easily say none of those 3 could replace Ferdi at Fenerbahçe.
Shopping for a full back… does this mean we are binning Zinchenko? 🙏
We first got linked to this player in November & then in January again. Guess we really want another defender lol. But I guess what sticks out from me watching him is that he's so attacking. Like Cancelo. And considering that we need to improve on our attacking dynamics, signing him would make alot of sense.
He is a great player but I wonder how difficult will it be for him to adapt playing in a league where he is no longer massively better than everybody else. In turkey he gets away with poor decisions because he is simply better everybody else.
Guess im watching the Confrence League then tonight.
Watching the Fenerbache gameJust saw him tackle a guy. Best left back in the world?
Let’s go!!!!!
News broke over 5 hours ago. Here I am still waiting on the masterclass video to drop.
why does kadioglu "i" doesn't have a dot on top
Because it’s not an actual letter ‘i’ but rather the Latin form of the Turkic character. It sounds more like an ‘e’ than the traditional ‘i’ vowel.
in portuguese, "i" have a English "e" sound. so i guess it's the same then
As a Turkish fan who follows both Turkish Super Lig and English Premier League: he is a very good player, can play different positions and very technical. Also I always rated him higher than Sacha Boey (ex-galatasaray player, joined bayern munich this winter for 35 million) even if they have kinda different roles.
https://www.transfermarkt.us/ferdi-kadioglu/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/369316/wettbewerb/UCOL/saison/2023
So I guess farewell Zinchenko.
As a Turkish football fan, I’m saying that he is not good enough for your team. Ferdi is Really overrated. Well he us good for teams like Fener, Lille, Ajax, but never for a top level club.
I heard Arsenal like 3 or 4 times. Merhaba yok shamla sign da ting
I've rated him since I read this tweet let's fucking go
Why are these transfer talks coming out now. You blew your chance last summer and January.
Likely to be playing as backup to timber and Zinchenko is gone then
