A Forward. However, he loses possession under pressure (1.8 dispossessed/90). Note: this profile is based on 854 minutes of playing time this season. The three closest DNA matches to Can Keleş:

İrfan Can Kahveci(86% match) — A Forward. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, an elite creator (1.8 key passes/90) and a reliable supplier (0.21 assists/90).
Ahmed Kutucu(83% match) — Kutucu is the Turkish Süper Lig’s most efficient offensive enigma, a high-volume shooter who combines the clinical finishing of a veteran poacher with the creative vision of a seasoned playmaker. While playing for a Tier C side, his output is undeniably elite; he ranks in the top 5% of the league for both shots and assists per 90, proving he is as much a facilitator as he is a finisher.
Cherif Ndiaye(83% match) — A Complete Forward. Statistically, he stands out as a capable chance creator (1.3 key passes/90), a proven goalscorer (0.47 goals/90), draws fouls effectively (2.9/90) and top 20% scorer in the league.
