Kofane, Etta Eyong… the Cameroonian players energizing the 2026 summer transfer window

Things are buzzing around Karl Etta Eyong

Already targeted by Premier League newcomers Ipswich Town, Karl Etta Eyong has, in recent days, been linked with a transfer to Olympique Lyonnais. Les Gones are reportedly ready to make a €15 million offer for the young 22-year-old Cameroonian striker, but Levante, his club, expects €20 million. It remains to be seen if OL will pursue this track, knowing that they are also interested in Belgian Loïs Openda.

André Onana stays at Trabzonpor

Not in Manchester United's plans, the 30-year-old goalkeeper will spend a second consecutive season on loan at Trabzonspor, where he satisfied the Turkish club's management. Last season, André Onana played a crucial role for Trabzonspor, being decisive in the final of the Turkish Cup, which his team won. Under contract at Old Trafford until 2028, Onana appears to be headed for a permanent transfer to Turkey—unless the situation changes.

 Christian Kofane is highly rated in the Premier League

Following a decent season in Germany with 7 goals and 9 assists in 44 matches, Christian Kofane is attracting interest from Premier League clubs. As during the last winter transfer window, Arsenal is keeping an eye on the young 19-year-old centre-forward, but the Gunners' approach will depend on a departure from Gabriel Jesus or Gabriel Martinelli, as noted by Fussball Daten, which also adds that Bayer Leverkusen does not intend to sell Kofane cheaply and expects no less than €100 million for him. Everton and Newcastle also appreciate the profile of the Douala native, further raising his value.

Napoli wants to keep Zambo Anguissa

Previously rumored to be leaving at the end of last season, the situation has changed for André-Frank Zambo Anguissa since Massimiliano Allegri took charge. According to reports from the Gazzetta dello sport, the Italian coach is counting on the 30-year-old midfielder and is even advocating for his contract extension, as his current deal expires in June 2027. The Indomitable Lion took part in Wednesday's win (3–1) for the Partenopei against Arrezzo in a friendly. It remains to be seen if he will continue his adventure in Naples, four years after his arrival.
