The President of the Cameroonian Football Federation (CAMFOOT), Samuel Eto’o, has been orchestrating significant behind-the-scenes maneuvers to reinforce the roster of the “Indomitable Lions” ahead of the forthcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON 2023).
Recent reports reveal that CAMFOOT’s head, Éric Dina Ebimbe, has successfully persuaded Eintracht Frankfurt player Éric Dina Ebimbe to commit to representing Cameroon on the international stage.
This development marks a substantial strengthening of the five-time African champions as they prepare for the upcoming fixtures, notably the AFCON 2023 tournament.
The addition of Ebimbe is seen as a crucial boost to Cameroon’s squad dynamics.
Notably, Cameroon finds itself placed in Group C alongside Senegal, Guinea, and Gambia following the draw for the AFCON.
Ebimbe, who initially trained at Paris Saint-Germain, boasts a career that includes 14 appearances with the first team, during which he contributed with an assist.
After loan spells at Le Havre and Dijon, the midfielder made a permanent move to Eintracht Frankfurt during the last summer transfer window for a reported fee of €6.5 million.
In the current season, Ebimbe has featured in 23 matches, showcasing an impressive record of 7 goals and 3 assists. His versatility allows him to operate in both defensive and attacking midfield roles, adding depth and flexibility to the Cameroonian squad.
The 21-year-old’s market value, estimated at €10 million according to the “transfermarkt” website, further underscores his potential contribution to Cameroon’s campaign in the upcoming AFCON, where his skills and versatility are anticipated to play a pivotal role in the team’s strategy and performance on the field.
