Shakir Seyidov Kepez Scout Report
Shakir Seyidov

Strengths

- Permanence at Kepez — Being converted from a loan to a permanent deal points to the club’s confidence in him.
Development Areas
- Limited goal/assist output — Producing only 2 goals in 53 appearances at Sabah shows his direct attacking contribution has been limited.
- Unsettled loan history — His loan spells in Latvia and at Turan Tovuz show his path to becoming a long-term core player has progressed in fits and starts.
- Senior national-team level — Only has youth-national-team experience, has not yet been called up to the senior side.
Level Projection
Verdict: A midfielder with U21 national-team experience and a long Sabah career, now a permanent Kepez player; could be assessed as a rotation or experience signing for mid-table Süper Lig sides looking for ball distribution and tempo control.
