Gökdeniz Karadeniz (born 11 January 1980) is a football player for the team Trabzonspor. He is also a member of the Turkish national team.
Gökdeniz played his first game for Trabzonspor in the 1999/00 season, making ten appearances. He was at first used in defensive roles by his manager, but was gradually given a more and more offensive role in the team until the 2003/04 season when he was given a much freer rein in midfield. His lightning step and effective understanding with fellow teammate Fatih Tekke enabled him to lead the clubs scorers that season with 13 goals. Although he had appeared in the Turkish squad and played a few matches for them before this season, his subsequent form meant that he was now in consideration for all future national games.
His talent relies mainly on his forward play, which he uses to break free of defences either to supply passes/ assists or to score himself. His versatility allows him to play in almost any position. For Trabzonspor, he has appeared in defence, midfield and attack. His established position now for club and country is as an attacking midfield player.
Gökdeniz is one of the most recognised faces in Turkish football, and is widely regarded as one of the most talented players produced from the exceptional Trabzonspor youth system.
