Fecafoot president and former Indomitable Lions star Samuel Eto’o has reportedly engaged in discussions with Inter Milan defender Yann Aurel Bisseck.
Born in Germany with Cameroonian heritage, the 23-year-old Bisseck could potentially strengthen the Cameroon national team for the continental tournament scheduled from January 13 to February 11.
In the intricate landscape of international football, the pursuit of dual-national players becomes crucial for national teams aiming to bolster their squads for prestigious competitions like AFCON.
Samuel Eto’o, now at the helm of the Cameroonian Football Federation, has reportedly reached out to Bisseck, who currently plies his trade in Italy’s Serie A with Inter Milan.
Camerfoot-infos.com reveals that discussions between Eto’o and Bisseck’s entourage have already commenced. However, as of now, no definitive decision has been made regarding Bisseck’s integration into the national team for AFCON.
While the possibility remains uncertain, the strategic move by Eto’o signifies Cameroon’s intent to explore all avenues to reinforce their squad for the upcoming tournament.
Bisseck, born in Germany and capped for the German U21 team, has yet to earn a call-up to the senior German side. His professional journey has seen him play for various clubs, including FC Cologne, Vitoria SC in Portugal, Aarhus in Denmark, and his current club, Inter Milan, where he has made six appearances this season.
As the AFCON 2023 draws near, football enthusiasts and analysts alike will keenly observe the unfolding developments to see whether Yann Aurel Bisseck ultimately chooses to represent Cameroon, potentially becoming a valuable addition to the Indomitable Lions’ squad in their quest for continental glory.
