Is OM’s new striker already a casting error?
On January 20, Olympique de Marseille recruited Faris Moumbagna from FK Bodø/Glimt, a Norwegian club. The Cameroonian international (six caps with the Indomitable Lions) is now linked to the Marseille club for the next four seasons.
Sunday evening, on the pitch at Stade Brestois, the new Olympian striker was preferred to Aubameyang to occupy the center forward position. Already in difficulty last Thursday, against the Ukrainians Shakhtar Donetsk in the Europa League, the native of Yaoundé has never weighed against the Breton club. For Jean-Michel Larqué, this player is not worthy of playing for OM.
“He has no allure”
“Moumbagna is a District player. Physically, I saw a terrible photo of him in L’Equipe. A terrifying photo. This boy has no allure. Let’s not even talk about its performance. Today, he is not ready to play an L1 match physically”declared the sports consultant in the show “Rothen s’igne” on RMC.
Since January 2023, Faris Moumbagna has distinguished himself in Norway, with Bodo/Glimt, by compiling 24 goals and providing 9 assists in 50 matches. He particularly distinguished himself in the Europa Conference League, with 6 goals scored in 14 matches. “ It’s physical, it keeps the ball in front. I know this kid a little, we have a relationship in common. He’s a great kid.”Steve Savidan said of him, just after his recruitment.
