Semih Kılıçsoy is a young Turkish forward whose rapid rise has already attracted collector interest, and who is featured on Walkouts as a promising signature for signed shirt and authentic autograph collections. Born on 15 August 2005, Kılıçsoy progressed through local youth teams before arriving at one of Turkey's biggest clubs, and his profile now spans club success, international recognition and tangible memorabilia appeal for collectors of official merchandise.
Raised in the Turkish youth system, Kılıçsoy began his development with GOP Venüs and Arnavutköy Yaylaspor, before joining the academy of Beşiktaş in 2016. He quickly made a name for himself as a prolific scorer at youth level, converting that promise into a professional pathway when he signed his first senior contract on 21 October 2021. Progression through the reserves and youth ranks established his reputation, and he extended his Beşiktaş deal on 23 December 2022, committing further to the Istanbul side.
Breakthrough moments arrived in the 2023 season, when Kılıçsoy made his Süper Lig debut as a substitute on 26 February 2023 in a match against Antalyaspor, and then scored his first professional goal on 27 July 2023 against KF Tirana. Those milestones were followed by a new four year contract signed in January 2024, reflecting his increasing role at club level. In the summer of 2025 he moved on loan to Cagliari, gaining experience abroad while remaining under contract with Beşiktaş.
Kılıçsoy's trophy cabinet already includes domestic honours with Beşiktaş, namely the Turkish Cup 2023-24 and the Turkish Super Cup 2024, achievements that add provenance to any piece of memorabilia associated with his name. For collectors, provenance linked to winners' squads and cup runs enhances narrative value, whether it is a signed shirt, an authenticated autograph or other official merchandise.
On the international stage he has represented Turkey at every youth level, and his form earned him selection in the preliminary 35 man squad for UEFA Euro 2024 on 24 May 2024. He made his senior debut in a friendly against Italy on 4 June 2024 and was confirmed in the final 26 man squad on 7 June 2024, marking a rapid elevation to full international status that collectors often note when assessing memorabilia provenance.
Described by Mehmet Ekşi as "dynamic and talented", Kılıçsoy is versatile across the front line and is comfortable as a striker, winger or attacking midfielder, with an ability to use both feet. He cites Sergio Agüero as an idol, a lineage that resonates with fans and collectors when seeking signed items that reflect a player's style and inspirations.
For memorabilia specialists and fans assembling collections, items tied to Kılıçsoy's early honours, first professional goal and first senior caps carry clear provenance, whether that is a match issued shirt or an authenticated autograph. Each piece can be contextualised within his career milestones, enhancing its narrative value to collectors focused on official merchandise and authenticated collectibles.
Looking ahead, Kılıçsoy remains a focal point for supporters and collectors alike, blending on field promise with tangible items that document his journey. His records and honours give clear provenance to signed shirts and autographs, and as his career develops he will continue to appear in curated Walkouts selections that appeal to memorabilia collectors seeking authenticated pieces of emerging talent.
