Outlook

With a Rating of 38, Sertkaya carries the 2nd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the 1. Lig of 15 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
