He's got a newborn as well. That should keep him occupied. The warm tones of the house are very soothing. (Image: imgur.com)

This powerful and technical forward knew nothing but street football in Cameroon. He got his first taste of the professional life after moving to Switzerland with his mother. He's the first to acknowledge his humble beginnings, and that has kept this young man grounded. His first youth club was FC Nordstern Basel. He spent two seasons there, joined the Old Boys for two years, and finally finished his youth training from FC Basel's academy. The RotBlau gave him his senior debut in the year 2014. His performances throughout the next two seasons began attracting interest from multiple clubs across Europe. He was even dubbed as one of Europe's hottest prospects during that time. Schalke won the race to sign him, but his first season was marred by an ugly injury that ruled him out for a year. The miners never got to experience the player that he truly was. His time in Gelsenkirchen came to an end when he signed for Borussia Mönchengladbach in 2019. He's hoping to find his form and confidence back with The Foals, and is on the right path to achieving that. This Swiss international is not an injury-prone player, but he needs to work on his fitness and be more prudent when he's out on the pitch. He has represented Switzerland's U16, U20, and U21 teams, and has been with the national team since 2015.
