Step aside for a moment, Victor Osimhen, as forward Chancel Mbemba, who did not meet expectations in the Premier League, still has the opportunity to make it to the World Cup next year. The former Newcastle United defender has become the captain of the DR Congo national team and helped them secure a fourth consecutive victory, enhancing their chances of participating in the tournament taking place in the USA in 2026.
