Career Summary
Sophisticated striker who was brought up in German club system.
What Scouts Say: "Very talented player and very smart ... Very good in the air as well ... Class in front of goal with his head and feet. Polished player due to past in Germany ... Mentally sharp ... He's a one-pace kind of player, but able to find space in the box ... Can hit the final pass or go it himself ... Finishes very well in front of goal. Finds the frame with every shot ... Floats around and is a very good finisher ... Not a guy that's going to stretch defenses. Doesn't run by anybody. When pace is quicker in MLS, how can he cope? ... A guy you can play into, but can't make ball stick ... Hakan's movements are clever and sophisticated. Anticipates well and can make the next pass ... Lack of athleticism and speed is a question. Does he have enough work rate for MLS? ... How will MLS teams react to the fact that he's 25 and occupies an international spot? But pedigree and age may make him more attractive ... Further along than a lot of college players in his tactical awareness ... He can't lead the forward line on his own, but could even transition to attacking midfielder in MLS."
