How good is Altay Bayındır?

His 6’6 frame gives him outstanding reach and his razor-sharp reflexes make him difficult to beat. Thanks to his height, Bayindir is particularly adept in one-on-one situations, and, much like legendary United goalkeepers Peter Schmeichel and David de Gea, he makes a significant amount of saves with his feet.
