Steve Mvoue: Who is Cameroon’s Afcon-bound wonderkid?

Clarence Seedorf has named the 17-year-old midfielder, the star of the Indomitable Lions' U-17 Afcon success, in his provisional squad for Egypt

 

When Steve Mvoue netted a hat-trick in Cameroon’s 7-1 demolition of the Central African Republic in the U-17 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers in Equatorial Guinea, the 16-year-old could never have imagined that he’d be named in the Indomitable Lions provisional squad for the Africa Cup of Nations a year later.
Yet after winning the age-grade tournament with Cameroon in Tanzania last month, the Azur Academy midfielder was a surprise inclusion in Clarence Seedorf’s preliminary squad for the continental showpiece this summer.
