Kenan Karaman: Besiktas the first professional station outside of Germany
For Karaman, who has played 25 times for Turkey and was last in the squad at the European Championships, it is the first professional station outside of Germany. To date, the Stuttgart native had run for TSG Hoffenheim, Hannover 96 and, since 2018, for Düsseldorf.
Last season Karaman scored seven goals and two assists in 28 second division appearances for Fortuna.
