Playing style

[edit]

"Đerlek is ambitious, impeccably disciplined, in the right sense of the word is a professional. There are almost everything that a modern football player needs. He can operate at the whole places in the middle of the court, being available to play as a central and defensive midfielder, as well as a playmaker. If it is played in rhombus, he can be used both left and high. If Armin is mentored, especially in a period in which he is, then he can expect a great career."

—Adem Preljević, founder of "AS" football academy, February 2018[2]

Standing at 5-foot-8-inches (1.73 m), Đerlek usually operates as an attacking midfielder.[34] He can use both legs equally well, which allows him to create a position for a shot from multiple angles. He is characterised as a creative playmaker with strong pace, likewise good ball control and game vision. He is also described as classic number 10 in 4-2-3-1 formation, with leadership and captaincy roles.[35][36][37] Due to his playing style, The Guardian compared him with Eden Hazard as also his compatriot Adem Ljajić.[38][39]
