So, how good is Kabak? And, what are his best attributes? We used FIFA 21 to see what Liverpool fans can expect from the Turkish defender.
Ozan Kabak on FIFA 21
Overall rating: 75/100
Potential rating: 85/100
Age: 20
Height: 6ft 1in
Best attributes: Strength (85), jumping (84), standing tackle (76), aggression (78), heading accuracy (76), sliding tackle (75), composure (75), sprint speed (75).
According to FIFA 21, Kabak is a superb prospect, with strong attributes including strength, jumping, aggression, heading accuracy, tackling, composure and sprint speed too.
In comparison to the current Liverpool defenders, Kabak's 75 overall rating would place him below Van Dijk (90), Joe Gomez (83) and Joel Matip (83), but way above, Rhys Williams (62), Nathaniel Phillips (68) and Sepp van den Berg (65).
In terms of technical ability, Kabak has decent composure (75), short passing (73) and ball control (72), which would suggest that the Turkish defender is more than capable in possession.
Kabak's potential rating, according to FIFA 21, is 85 out of 100. This would place him among Liverpool's best defenders, behind only Van Dijk (90) in terms of natural central defenders at the club, above Joel Matip (83) and Joe Gomez (83).
Overall, FIFA 21 suggests that Kabak is a superb young defender with exciting potential, who could become one of the best defenders at the club over the next few years, whilst also making the squad strong in the short-term.
