Kemal thanks
After signing the contract, the 21-year-old Kemal said: “I have lots of things I want to achieve at Fenerbahçe. I want to thank everybody who played a part in making this transfer come true." Fenerbahçe's general secretary Vedat Olcay said: "He is young, this may be a disadvantage for him but he will take part in our rejuvenation plans."
Tipped for senior honours
Kemal is one of the most established Under-21 players in Turkey and has been tipped to receive a senior call-up in the near future. He moved to Gaziantepspor in summer 2000 and made over 80 appearances in two seasons.
