Moukandjo currently plies his trade with Lorient where he has scored 7 goals in 15 appearances this season. He joined the Kadji Sports Academy when he was ten years old and then moved to France in 2007 with Stade Rennais. The 28-year-old has played for a number of French clubs during his career including Monaco, Nancy and Stade de Reims.

Being one of the most experienced players in Hugo Bross’s side, Moukandjo needs to perform consistently and chip in with goals for Cameroon to enjoy success at the tournament.
