Ahmetcan Kaplan, born on 16 January 2003 (age 23), is a Turkish central defender with Ajax, where he wears squad number 13. His market value is around £4.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
His senior record in the Netherlands has run through Ajax and Jong Ajax. The standout league return came with Jong Ajax in 2024-25, when he scored two goals in three appearances – a useful contribution from a centre-back, though hardly the basis for turning him into something he is not.
For Ajax, Kaplan has made five KNVB Beker appearances in 2026-27, scoring once. At this stage his profile is straightforward: a developing Turkish defender at a major Dutch club, with a modest but clear first-team record and room still to define the shape of his career.
