Scout report

Experienced headCentre-forward

G. Kaya is a 31-year-old centre-forward at Iğdır FK, rated 18.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 140th of 224 on scout potential in the 1. Lig. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (52.7% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kaya.

Judged on this season alone, Kaya graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 20th of 29 of the 29 centre-forwards in the 1. Lig, on 1 goal and 0 assists in 11 appearances (0.1 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 23 → 9). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 17th of 29 of the 29 centre-forwards in the 1. Lig. At 31 Kaya is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.2 reflects that trajectory.

1 goal in 11 appearances (0.09 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 52.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.1 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 18.3, Kaya carries the 17th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the 1. Lig of 29 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.1 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
