François Omam-Biyik, a former RC Lens, Olympique de Marseille (OM), and Cameroon striker, has weighed in on the poor performance of Nicolas Nkoulou, the Cameroonian defender who has been underwhelming for OM this season. In an interview with La Provence, Omam-Biyik suggested that Nkoulou’s struggles are part of a wider trend at the club, pointing to a lack of effort from the senior players, possibly due to distractions ahead of the World Cup.
Omam-Biyik implied that Nkoulou, like many of his teammates, has been coasting and doing the bare minimum. This critique is harsh, as Nkoulou was once considered a reliable defender for OM, and his current form has raised doubts about his future at the club.
With many key players such as Steve Mandanda and Mathieu Valbuena also underperforming and potentially leaving, Nkoulou’s time at OM could be coming to an end. The next offseason is expected to bring significant changes to the squad, and Nkoulou may be one of the players shown the door.
This criticism from a former Cameroon international is sure to resonate with fans, and Nkoulou will have to work hard to prove his worth before making any potential moves.
