Several years ago, PFSA wrote a scouting report on the purported Arsenal target, then said to be on the radar of Derby County and at the time mostly playing as a winger.

They labelled Kadioglu an ‘extremely skilled operator with the ball at his feet’ with ‘Velcro like ball control, usually immaculate first touch and ingenuity to beat his man.’

‘Possessing a wicked turn of speed and able to change direction rapidly, this in combination with his sharp feints, shimmies, shoulder drops, shot fakes and nutmegs, ensure he’s a menace to handle 1v1,’ they added.

‘Due to the above, plus his low centre of gravity and decent strength, this means he wins many fouls in dangerous areas and can be hard to push off the ball.

‘Very comfortable on the ball and with opponents knowing his skill, he regularly draws multiple opponents that can crucially open up space upfield for teammates to explore.’
