Mehmet Topuz (born 7 September 1983) is a Turkish football midfield player, who plays for Fenerbahçe. Topuz had begun his career in Yolspor, a local club in Kayseri. He joined Kayserispor after spelling almost 3 years at that club. He has been given several Golden Man of the Month awards which are presented monthly and supported by Turkey Heart Foundation.[1][2][3] His successful league appearances attracted the bigger clubs of Turkey. However, Kayserispor Board strongly asserted that they will not let him go and supported their intentions to keep him in the club by advertising on billboards.[4][5] Afterwards, he extended his contract with the club.[6]

He has been linked with Spanish side Valencia in May 2008.[7] He played total of 6 games for Kayserispor in European competitions and scored 2 goals during their UEFA Intertoto Cup Campaign in the 2006 season, in which they became the first team from Turkey to win the competition. Kayserispor qualified for the UEFA Cup and lost 4–3 on aggregate against AZ in the second round. In 2007–08 season, he played 2 games in UEFA Cup qualification, in which Kayserispor lost against Paris Saint-Germain 2–1 on aggregate. After playing 5 years for Kayserispor, he moved to Fenerbahçe in 2009 for a fee of €9 million + Gökhan Emreciksin, making him one of the most expensive internal Turkish transfers. He scored his first goal against Twente in the first group game of UEFA Europa League from a freekick at 71st minute. Although this game tied the score, Twente scored another goal 6 minutes later, and sealed a 1–2 win in Istanbul.

International career

He played 22 times for Turkey U-21 and scored 2 goals. Topuz has also represented the Turkish national football team 18 times.
