Ibrahima Sory Bangoura 

In the heart of Genk's midfield, 21-year-old Ibrahima Sory Bangoura has emerged as a promising talent, drawing attention from scouts with his mature style of play. His ability to recover possession is nothing short of exceptional, often anchoring the team with a calm assurance. Bangoura's knack for ball retention is commendable, showing composure under pressure, though there's room for improvement in his creative output and progressive passing. Defensively, he's a formidable presence in one-on-one duels, consistently disrupting opponents, though his penalty area defending can occasionally lack the same precision. While he's not a significant goal threat, his progressive carrying injects momentum into Genk's transitions, hinting at a potential to influence the game further up the pitch. As he continues to refine his all-round game, Bangoura's development will be one to watch closely this season.
