“I played here last year and played here two years ago. It’s a great club.
“Fenerbahçe is the biggest club in Turkey.
“It’s also the club with the squad. I think the fans will be in the stadium this season and we’ll see that we’ll be champions. “
Caulker, who is entering his twelfth year as a senior professional, began his footballing career at the age of 16 at Tottenham when he was a young player in 2007.
The West London-born player has played 29 games for North London in all competitions, scoring two goals and offering two assists.
And the centre-back, who signed his first contract with Spurs in July 2009, ended his loan at Yeovil Town, Bristol City and Swansea, before returning to north London in 2012.
The player played for England in a 4–2 friendly loss to Sweden in November of the same year.
One season in Cardiff and three years in QPR from 2014 to 2017 followed Caulker’s departure from White Lane in 2012.
And the former Prem player would move to Dundee in 2018 before taking flight several months from the game and then sealing a to Alyaspor in January 2019.
