He can also play as a stopper
Lemina arrived in Istanbul last night to sign his contract and his meeting with coach Okan Buruk played an important role in his acceptance of Galatasaray’s offer.

Lemina, who can play as a central midfielder, front libero and stopper, played 28 matches and scored 1 goal in the 2019-20 season for Galatasaray.
Wolves bought him for €11 million
