Mustafa Eskihellaç (born 5 May 1997) is a Turkish professional footballer who plays as a left midfielder for Süper Lig club Trabzonspor and the Turkey national team.[3]
Professional career
On 18 January 2018, Mustafa signed for Yeni Malatyaspor from Düzyurtspor after successful seasons in the TFF Third League.[4] He made his professional debut with Malatyaspor in a 1-1 Süper Lig tie with Kasımpaşa S.K. on 9 February 2018.[5]
On the last day of the January transfer market 2019, Eskihellaç was one of 22 players in two hours who signed for Turkish club Elazığspor.[6] It had been placed under a transfer embargo but managed to negotiate it with the Turkish FA, leading to them going on a mad spree of signing and registering a load of players despite not even having a permanent manager in place. In just two hours, they managed to snap up a record 22 players - 12 coming in on permanent contracts and a further 10 joining on loan deals until the end of the season. He arrived on a loan for the rest of the season.
On 23 July 2022, Eskihellaç signed a three-year contract with Gaziantep.[7]
On February 8, 2025, he signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with Trabzonspor.[8]
International career
Mustafa represented the Turkey U20 at the 2018 Toulon Tournament.[9]
He made his senior Turkey national team debut on 7 June 2025 in a friendly game against United States national team[10]
