Cercle also went shopping during the Christmas period. The young Steve Ngoura should eventually become the successor to Kevin Denkey, who moved to the MLS.

The 19-year-old Frenchman comes over from Le Havre. “As a centre-forward, Ngoura is known for his speed, technical skills and his eye for goal,” Cercle said.

The attacker is currently injured in his quadriceps and will not be able to make his debut for the Association until February at the earliest.
