Playing Style & Assessment
Altundağ is a young midfielder shaped by European academy discipline and youth-international experience, though still with minimal senior visibility.
Strengths

- Long-term project trust — A 3+1-year deal shows the club views him as part of its youth development plan.
Development Areas
- No professional experience — He hasn’t played in TFF 1. Lig yet, so his adaptation curve is unpredictable.

Level Projection
