Clinton Njie has officially extended his contract with Olympique Lyonnais until 2019, a reward for his excellent performances at the start of the season—including his goal against FC Lorient the night before the announcement.
🔹 A Rising Star at OL
The Cameroonian international expressed both pride and ambition following the contract extension:
“This is the beginning of the adventure. I’m happy. Now we have to keep working. I want to score, to play. And I hope we’ll be in Europe at the end of this season. I’m proud of myself. I also want to thank everyone who helped me get here. This extension is a good thing for me. It shows that the club has confidence in me,” said Njie.
🔹 His Impact
Njie has been one of Lyon’s breakthrough talents this season:
-
Showing pace, energy, and goal-scoring ability
-
Becoming increasingly important in OL’s attacking setup alongside players like Alexandre Lacazette and Nabil Fekir
🔹 Looking Ahead
With this new deal, Lyon is clearly banking on Njie’s development. The young forward is eager to establish himself as a regular starter, continue improving, and help Lyon secure European football by season’s end.
This extension sends a strong message of confidence from the club—and reflects Njie’s growing stature in both Ligue 1 and on the international stage with Cameroon.
