Ismail Joshua Jakobs

I. Jakobs lines up for Galatasaray in the Super Lig, bringing his qualities to one of football's top competitions. A native of Stuttgart in Germany, he converted his natural talent into a professional career through hard work and dedication.

The silverware in his career — notably Trofeo Joan Gamper, Süper Lig, Cup — confirms his ability to perform in the biggest moments. With the 2025/2026 campaign in full swing, he is intent on making his presence felt in Galatasaray's plans. His well-rounded profile and accumulated experience make him one of the most important assets in Galatasaray's squad.
