Jakobs wants to end his goal drought in the derby

Galatasaray left back Ismail Jakobs has not been able to find the net in 73 official matches wearing the yellow and red shirt. Excluding goalkeepers, this stands as one of the longest goal droughts of the last 30 years. Over this period, the player contributed 4 assists to his team but has not yet celebrated a goal.

The 27-year-old Senegalese defender joined on loan from Monaco at the start of the 2024-2025 season. After one season, he joined the squad permanently and signed a two-year contract. His consistent performances at the back have earned the trust of the coaching staff. However, he has struggled to change the scoreboard in attack.

Tomorrow's Fenerbahce derby is seen as an important opportunity for Jakobs to end this drought. Against their fiercest rivals, the player wants to contribute to his team's victory and score his first goal.
