Ömer Kerim Ali Rıza (born November 8, 1979 in Edmonton, North London, London, England) is a Turkish football striker (of Turkish Cypriot descent) who currently plays for Trabzonspor.
[edit] Club career
Rıza started his career as a youth with English club Arsenal and made his first team debut on November 2, 1998 against Derby County in the League Cup. He also travelled with the team on away fixtures against Dynamo Kyiv and Panathinaikos as a substitute in the Champions League. With few first-team opportunities at Arsenal, during 1998-99 he went on loan to ADO Den Haag for three months, scoring five goals for the Dutch side.
In the 1999-00 season, he moved to West Ham United, but again was unable to break into the first team. He went on loan to Barnet and Cambridge United, and signed a permanent deal with the latter in 2002. During the 2002-03 season he scored 17 goals for United, which prompted a move to Turkcell Super League side Denizlispor during the 2003 close season. In January 2006, he signed for Trabzonspor.
