Strengths

- Physical build — At 1.85 m he offers an advantage in physical duels and in the air on the flank.
Development Areas

- National-team background — No senior or youth national-team experience is prominent in public sources.
Level Projection
Verdict: A young winger who came through his hometown club’s academy and has been on the rise recently; not a direct fit for the Turkish Süper Lig, but a profile whose consistency and output in the starting eleven are worth monitoring.
