Izzy: ‌ it’s‍ definitely a gamble. Ngapeth’s talent is undeniable​ – he can​ single-handedly shift the momentum of a match. But integrating a player ⁢of his caliber​ mid-season isn’t easy. There will be tactical adjustments,chemistry to build. it’s a high-risk, high-reward move,

Izzy: That’s the million-dollar question, isn’t it? Ngapeth is a passionate leader, sometimes to‌ a fault. He needs a team that can handle his intensity, that’s willing to buy into his vision. If he can foster that ⁤connection, Fenerbahçe coudl be dangerous.
