Schalke's Ozan Kabak has already played over 4,000 league minutes at the age of 20, earning a nickname in some scouting circles: The “Turkish Wall,” given due his dominance in duels both on the ground and in the air. (1/4)
[The Athletic]
Kabak's smarterscout rating show that compared to Liverpool's center backs, Kabak is so-so when going up for headers in open play but great at both defending and attacking balls from set pieces. He’s also a strong tackler, with a rating not far off Van Dijk. (2/4)
[The Athletic]
Kabak is an aggressive defender, often stepping out from the back to challenge for the ball. He’s extremely comfortable in carrying the ball, but isn’t always the safest in possession. Neither of these are huge blemishes given he is yet to turn 21. (3/4)
[The Athletic]
Sources familiar with Kabak’s move from Galatasaray to Stuttgart in January 2019 note he also had offers from Man Utd. & Juve, but opted for a deal that would earn him less financially in return for more playing time and to develop his game step-by-step. (4/4)
