“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Brian Sarmiento in a row with a teammate

Patrick Choupo-Moting steps up from the PWD Bamenda academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Patrick Choupo-Moting has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
