Cameroonian central defender Joyskim Dawa, currently playing for FCSB (formerly Steaua Bucharest), may be on the move during the upcoming summer transfer window. His solid performances in Romania have attracted the attention of several European clubs, including Çaykur Rizespor, PAOK FC, and Panathinaikos F.C..
These clubs are considering potential moves to acquire the 30-year-old player this summer. Dawa's physical presence, experience, and consistency are reportedly the main assets that have convinced scouts in Turkey and Greece. According to Transfermarkt, his market value is estimated at €2 million.
Having joined FCSB in 2022, Dawa has established himself as a mainstay in his team's defense. He has played numerous matches in the Superliga, as well as qualifying matches for the Europa League and Champions League. As a Cameroonian international, Dawa could be taking the next step in his career.
Çaykur Rizespor, a Turkish Süper Lig club, is looking to strengthen its defense for the upcoming season. PAOK FC and Panathinaikos F.C., two Greek Super League 1 clubs, are also interested in the player's profile. Uncertainty surrounds the length of Dawa's contract with FCSB, which could pave the way for a low-cost transfer if no extension is signed.
Born in Colombes, France, on April 9, 1996, Joyskim Dawa holds dual Cameroonian and French nationality. The 1.94m right-footed central defender wears the number 5 shirt for FCSB. His career has taken him through various European leagues before joining Romania.
If the transfer materializes, Dawa could play in a more competitive league and increase his profile on the European stage. Clubs such as Olympique Lyonnais and Fulham have also been linked with the player in the past.
Joyskim Dawa's future remains uncertain, but the interest from several European clubs is a testament to the quality of his performances and his potential. He has won two titles with FCSB: Liga I in 2023/2024 and the Supercupa in 2024/2025.
