Ismail Jakobs is a left-sided defender born in Germany who switched international allegiance to Senegal, adding genuine attacking width to their backline. Developed at 1. FC Köln before moving to Monaco, he earned a transfer to Galatasaray in 2024, where he has continued to operate as an overlapping, energetic presence on the left flank. His ability to contribute in both phases makes him a modern full-back option for Senegal, and his Ligue 1 and Turkish Super Lig experience gives him a solid European pedigree to draw on at international level.
