Emir Han Topçu, born on 11 October 2000 (age 26), is a Turkish central defender whose senior career is tied most firmly to Besiktas. He wears number 53 and has become part of their regular defensive group rather than a passing name on the squad sheet.
His strongest early league season came with Çaykur Rizespor in 2023–24, when he made 32 appearances and scored once. That spell gave him a platform, but Besiktas is where the main body of his career has taken shape: 57 league appearances and three goals across three seasons.
In 2026–27, he has made eight Süper Lig appearances and scored once, while also featuring five times in Europa League qualifying and twice in the Europa League. That gives him 15 Besiktas appearances in all competitions for the season, with one goal.
Topçu’s career so far is that of an established Turkish defender whose main work has been done at Besiktas, with Rizespor serving as the key stepping stone before that spell took hold.
