Strengths
- Disciplined play — Going a full season without a card points to sound positional judgement.
- Continuity at the club — Being at the same club since 2024 has given him full familiarity with the system.
Development Areas
- Limited attacking data — Open sources offer little on his goal/assist output, so his attacking contribution is unclear.
- Lack of TFF 1. Lig experience — Most of his career has been in the Süper Lig, so adapting to the lower tier’s pace needs monitoring.
