Ismaël Fansu puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Fortuna Mfou, and it is not being withdrawn.

Aiman Riahi is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 23 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Fortuna Mfou
The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Fortuna Mfou supporters have found a favourite in Solomon Nsoh
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Solomon Nsoh has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.
