Oldham Athletic Sign Serhat Tasdemir<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Career of Serhat Tasdemir to This Point<\/h3>\n

The former Azerbaijan youth international started his career with Blackburn Rovers<\/a>. However, his hometown club did not feel as if he had a future with them, so he moved to AFC Fylde<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For the National League side, Tasdemir made 54 appearances, scoring eight times and assisting four times.<\/a><\/p>\n

Now 20-years-old, Tasdemir made his debut for AFC Fylde when he was just 17-years-old. In July of 2019, Peterborough United<\/a> signed him for an undisclosed fee.<\/p>\n

Since signing for the League One side, he has made 20 appearances in all competitions, notching one goal and one assist.<\/p>\n

This season, Tasdemir has only managed to find the pitch in EFL Trophy clashes, so Peterborough felt loaning him out was the best for his progression.<\/p>\n

Outlook At Oldham Athletic<\/h3>\n

A move to Oldham Athletic is exactly what Tasdemir needs to further his development. Although Tasdemir is known to be an attacking midfielder, his versatility sticks out. I<\/p>\n

n fact, in his professional career, he has played 37 matches on the right side of the midfield, 14 on the left, and only 10 in the number 10 role.<\/a> His adaptability is a quality Oldham will be thrilled to have.<\/p>\n

The side currently sit 13th in League Two. Harry Kewell, who has led the Latics to victory in two of their last three matches utilizing a 4-3-3, knows a player such as Tasdemir can be effective in many positions the formation commands.<\/p>\n

With an intensive fixture list, Kewell knows rotation is needed. Tasdemir can perform wherever he is called upon to do so, making him an overall shrewd signing.<\/p>\n
