AC Horsens has signed striker Mehmet Aydar from HIK with immediate effect. This exciting transfer marks a significant addition to the team’s roster as they continue to enhance their squad depth.
Mehmet Aydar: A Promising Talent for AC Horsens
The transfer comes a few months after Horsens also brought in forward Magnus Hørup Larsen from the Hellerup-based club. Aydar joins the academy setup and is set to start with the U17 team, which includes a strong group of local players. This strategic move indicates the club’s commitment to nurturing young talent and building a robust pipeline for future success.
Head of Academy Jacob Schunck Leth described Aydar as a powerful and quick forward with solid technical skills. He noted that Aydar poses a threat in the penalty area and can also drift into wider positions to create chances. The club has tracked him over an extended period and sees significant potential, planning to support his development over the coming years. There was interest from other clubs before he chose Horsens, highlighting the competitive nature of securing such a promising player.
Aydar has formed a positive view of the academy and the ambitions at Langmarksvej. He believes the environment suits his growth and, after discussions with Magnus Hørup Larsen, decided the move was right for him. His immediate goal is to prove himself, with targets to advance to the U19s, push for a Superliga breakthrough with the first team, and, in the longer term, pursue opportunities abroad.
This transfer not only strengthens AC Horsens’ youth academy but also demonstrates the club’s strategic vision for developing homegrown talent that can make a significant impact in the Danish Superliga and beyond.
