My Take
Bertuğ Yıldırım is one of those prospects I find genuinely fun to track. A 191 cm forward born in 2002, breaking into Turkey's national setup this young, has all the raw ingredients of a late bloomer who could explode. What interests me is whether he develops the finesse to match the frame; tall strikers who add real touch and movement become nightmares for any defense. He is still at that fragile, formative stage where the next few seasons decide everything. I'd rather follow a player like this on the way up than join the crowd once he has already arrived.
Overview
Bertuğ Özgür Yıldırım (born 12 July 2002) is a Turkish professional footballer who plays as a forward for Süper Lig club Başakşehir, and the Turkey national team.
