The coach of the Indomitable Lions, David Pagou, is on a mission to scout bi-national talents to strengthen the Cameroonian team. Among the players targeted, the name of Lucien Agoumé is frequently mentioned. Trained in France, this 24-year-old midfielder currently plays for FC Sevilla.
After the 2025 AFCON in Morocco, where Cameroon was eliminated in the quarter-finals, David Pagou wants to build a more competitive team. To achieve this, he is scouting both locally and abroad, targeting bi-national players who could bring real added value. Agoumé's profile, capable of combining defensive rigor and offensive drive, is particularly attractive. This season, he has played 22 La Liga matches, scoring one goal and providing one assist. His partnership with players like Carlos Baleba and Arthur Avom could energize the Cameroonian midfield.
Born in Cameroon but raised in France, Agoumé has played for French youth teams. He participated in the U17 World Cup in 2019, where he even wore the captain's armband. This experience with the Bleuets could influence his decision.
Agoumé's choice reflects a trend among many bi-national players, torn between the country where they were trained and their country of origin. Players like Kylian Mbappé have opted for France, while others choose to represent their country of origin.
The Fecafoot and David Pagou will have to deploy convincing arguments to attract Agoumé to the Indomitable Lions. His choice will have a significant impact on the future of his international career. David Pagou, who took office as coach in December 2025, is known for his knowledge of local football and his ability to build competitive teams. It remains to be seen whether this will be enough to convince Agoumé to join the Cameroonian project.
