Another player who began his footballing life as an ‘expatriot’ in Germany with Karlsruher
SC. Niyazi Serhat Akin moved to Fenerbahce SK in 2000. He scored fourteen times in 30 matches during the title-winning
campaign of 2000/01, even though it was his first in top-flight football. Serhat has been capped several times
by Turkey at under-21 level, whom he also represented at youth level. He played at the European Under-21 Championship
in 2000 and scored a goal against Italy. The striker boasts good ball control and great goalscoring instincts.
Much is expected of him at the Sükrü Saracoglu stadium but if anyone can rise to the expectation, this
quick-thinking forward can. |
