Jessic Ngankam, who struggled during his time at Eintracht Frankfurt, is flourishing since his loan move to Hannover 96. Under coach Stefan Leitl, the forward played a key role in Hannover’s recent home game against 1.FC Kaiserslautern, helping to double the team’s season points. Ngankam, now a regular starter, has quickly become a crucial player despite not scoring yet, proving his worth on the pitch as Hannover aims for success this season.
Leitl has high praise for Ngankam, noting he’s not your typical second-division player. „Jess is torgefährlich, can set up teammates, and is incredibly hard to handle,“ he stated. Ngankam was originally signed by Frankfurt for around 4 million euros, but after a tough spell that included a lack of Bundesliga goals during a loan to Mainz, he is now eager to revive his career. While Hannover may not have secured a purchase option, Leitl emphasized the importance of Ngankam staying fit and performing well, which could pave the way for a stronger future at Frankfurt. Details about his potential return remain to be seen, while Ngankam focuses on making an impact in Hannover.
