Umut Aytekin, a 13-year-old right centre-back who is 1.76 m tall and wears the Ümraniyespor kit, is being closely monitored by the scouting teams of giant clubs, especially Beşiktaş, Fenerbahçe, Galatasaray and Trabzonspor.
A new star candidate is shining from the youth academies, the foundation of sustainable success and the future in Turkish football. After completing last season at Sultanbeyli Belediyespor, 13-year-old right centre-back Umut Aytekin transferred to Ümraniyespor with his successful trajectory, and with his performance he is regarded among the promising names of Turkish football.
A 1.76-METER WALL AT 13 YEARS OLD
Standing out with his positional awareness on the pitch, high self-confidence, physical game and composure, the young talent draws a complete elite centre-back profile with a physique far beyond his age group. The talented 1.76m centre-back succeeds in attracting the attention of football authorities by embodying all the fundamental qualities a centre-back should have.
SCOUTING TEAMS ARE TRACKING HIM
The young player, who leaves those who see him in admiration with his dominance on the field, is already on the radar of Beşiktaş, Fenerbahçe, Galatasaray, Trabzonspor and many Anatolian clubs. In assessments made for the 13-year-old centre-back, who is closely followed by scouting teams, it is emphasized that Turkish football has not produced such a talent for a long time.
"UNDISCOVERED INDIAN FABRIC"
Umut Aytekin, described as "an undiscovered Indian fabric," is expected to make a name for himself frequently in the centre-back future of Turkish football if he is guided and developed correctly.
