Bertug Yildirim moves from Hatayspor to Ligue 1 Rennes for €5m – xGOLD identified Yildirim as an interesting profile for a striker back in February 2023 and we followed him during the end of the season grading him as a player who could have a medium impact at Tier 2 in the short term.
Who is Bertug Yilidrim?
“Bertug Yildirim is a 20-year-old young striker who is primarily deployed as a target man. He has a good physical profile, however, still needs to improve the technical side of his game. He looks to play off limited touches in the build-up and lacks the confidence to hold on to the ball. He shows good movement to drop deep in the build-up and also makes smart runs into spaces behind the backline, however, needs to be more clinical in front of the goal. He has a good aerial ability and poses a threat from crosses. In the defensive phases, he showed an excellent work ethic for his team as he constantly applies pressure on defenders and is an effective presser. Bertug is still very young and needs to improve certain attributes of his game to play at a higher level in the future.”
