The 30-year-old does not fill a non-EU spot as, despite being of Turkish descent, he was born in Germany.
He began his senior career in Germany with Hamburg before moving to Turkey in 2015, signing for Besiktas, where he won two Turkish titles.
He moved to Istanbul rivals Fenerbahce three years later but was only a peripheral figure for them, managing just 33 appearances in two seasons.
