Player to watch: Semih Kılıçsoy

After Beşiktaş were plagued by injuries last season, Semih Kılıçsoy was promoted to the senior team. The 18-year-old turned out to be the team's best player, leading in both goals (11) and assists (4).

Due to his stellar performances for Beşiktaş, Kılıçsoy earned his place in the Turkish national team, where he was invited to the European Championship. It will be interesting to see how the teenager fares in Beşiktaş' season opener.
