Scout report

Experienced headAttacking midfielder

İ. Kahveci is a 31-year-old attacking midfielder at Kasımpaşa, rated 24.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 244th of 326 on scout potential in the Süper Lig. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter this season (63.6% of available minutes). He brings 0.27 goal contributions per 90 (0.11 goals, 0.16 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kahveci.

Judged on this season alone, Kahveci graded 21 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 35th of 58 of the 58 attacking midfielders in the Süper Lig, on 2 goals and 3 assists in 24 appearances (0.271 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 14 → 21). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 25, 48th of 58 of the 58 attacking midfielders in the Süper Lig. At 31 Kahveci is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.5 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Kahveci missed 5 games through injury (ankle, coach's decision, yellow cards) out of roughly 34 this season. The 24 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

G+A

Goals / app

2 goals in 24 appearances (0.08 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 5 goal contributions (0.21 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 63.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Output. 0.27 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 24.7, Kahveci carries the 48th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Süper Lig of 58, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Kasımpaşa finished 13th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.27 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
