Let’s do it

A prospect still trying to find his way

Geubbels has been a curious case for years. A Lyon academy product, he moved to Monaco in 2018 with a huge reputation, billed as one of the biggest talents of his age group. Injuries and a series of decisions have slowed his progress.

At 24, the striker has never really delivered in Ligue 1. Serie A gives him a fresh stage. Lecce, regulars in the fight to stay up, are taking a punt on a player whose promise has never fully disappeared.

A gamble for both sides

For Geubbels, Italy looks like a chance to reboot away from the pressure in France. For Lecce, it is a measured investment in a player who is still not 25. Now the question is whether the spark finally arrives in a league that makes life hard for forwards.
