Cameroonian striker Christian Kofane set for Indomitable Lions call-up
Christian Kofane is on the verge of joining the Cameroon national team after holding discussions with Samuel Eto’o in Germany.
The Cameroon Football Federation president attended Bayer Leverkusen’s Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain and met the young striker after the match.
According to Actu Cameroun, Eto’o’s meeting with Kofane suggests that the forward could soon receive a national team invitation.
Their conversation reportedly focused on the player’s progress and his potential future with the Indomitable Lions.
Kofane, who recently joined Bayer Leverkusen, has quickly made his mark in Germany.
The 20-year-old forward has started in 67% of Leverkusen’s league matches this season, showing impressive consistency for such a young player.
His pace, sharp finishing, and technical control have caught the attention of Cameroon’s football authorities.
In the UEFA Champions League, Kofane has also delivered standout performances. He has registered one goal and one assist in just three appearances, helping Leverkusen maintain their strong group-stage form. His influence on the pitch has been praised by both his teammates and coaching staff.
The striker’s rapid rise has also boosted his market value. Transfermarkt currently estimates his worth at €12 million, a remarkable figure considering his short time at the club.
Scouts across Europe have been tracking his progress, but Cameroon fans are now hoping to see him wear the national colours soon.
Samuel Eto’o’s recent efforts to integrate more young talent into the national setup align with Kofane’s profile.
The Fecafoot president has consistently supported the inclusion of promising players from top European clubs to strengthen Cameroon’s squad depth.
If called up, Kofane could become one of the new faces leading Cameroon’s next generation of football stars.
His combination of speed, power, and confidence mirrors the qualities that have defined the Indomitable Lions for decades.
For now, the young forward remains focused on continuing his strong form with Leverkusen as speculation around his international future grows.
