Scouting Report & Player Insights
Kerem Demirbay is a left-footed playmaking midfielder now with Eyüpspor in the Turkish Süper Lig after spells at Galatasaray, Bayer Leverkusen and Hoffenheim. His game is built on a cultured striking technique: raking diagonals, set-piece delivery and long-range shooting rather than athleticism. Out of possession he has always been limited, and at 32 he operates as an experienced tempo-setter rather than a box-to-box presence.
Broke through at Hoffenheim, earning a Germany call-up after choosing the DFB over Turkey.
Joined Bayer Leverkusen from Hoffenheim in 2019 for a sizeable release-clause fee.
Won the Turkish Süper Lig title with Galatasaray after moving to Istanbul in 2023.
Known for spectacular long-range goals with his left foot in the Bundesliga.
