Ismail Jakobs' longest goal drought at Galatasaray in 30 years

Galatasaray bought out the contract of Senegalese left back Ismail Jakobs one season after taking him on loan from Monaco at the start of the 2024-25 season, and signed the player to a 2-year contract. The Senegalese left back has posted an interesting statistic with the Turkish club.

According to a report by NTV Spor, Jakobs has played 73 matches for Galatasaray across all competitions but has yet to celebrate a goal. During this time he has recorded 4 assists.

The 27-year-old player stands out as the outfield player with the longest goal drought in the club's history over the last 30 years, goalkeepers excluded. This record shows how limited his attacking contribution has been from the left back position.

Jakobs reportedly wants to end his goal drought in tomorrow's Fenerbahce derby. Galatasaray supporters will be watching his attacks down the left flank and his finishing attempts.
