Erkan Zengin (born 5 August 1985) is a Swedish-Turkish professional footballer who currently plays for Eskişehirspor. Born in Turkey to Turkish parents, Zengin has played for Turkey in youth competition before choosing to represent Sweden in senior competition.
He got his first contact with football playing at the playgrounds in Fittja and was not a part of a team until he was nine years old, when he came to Hammarby's youth academy. As a 17-year-old, he played some matches for the Turkish U18 national team. He has later changed his nationality and became Swedish national team player.
He made his Allsvenskan debut for Hammarby IF in 2004 when he came on as a substitute in a match against Malmö FF. The year after, he got his breakthrough as a right wing midfielder, the position he prefers to play at. However, Zengin is a very versatile player and can be used all over the midfield.
In January 2009, he signed a halfyear-loan contract with Beşiktaş. Beşiktaş had the option to buy Zengin in summer for a fee of €400,000. Ultimately Zengin went on to play for Eskişehirspor for several years before moving to Trabzonspor in January 2015, after his club had failed to agree terms with Fenerbahçe, to where Zengin wanted to move in the first place.
On 28 July 2016 Erkan Zengin joined Eskişehirspor again.
Zengin made his senior international debut for Sweden on 26 March 2013, playing from start in an away match against Slovakia.
