Olivier Mbarga agrees terms with Fauve Azur Elite
The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Gazelle Garoua people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Fee done, terms next for Joel Njie
Gazelle Garoua and Canon Yaounde have settled on $10.0K. The rest belongs to the player and his agent, and a supporter who has watched one of these before knows not to buy the shirt yet.

Eric Embolo asks to leave Gazelle Garoua
“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.

PWD Bamenda come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Gazelle Garoua did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Maël Monyebe reaches 200 appearances

Ayatullahi Suleiman in the eights
A performance of 8.03 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Victoria United end the Gazelle Garoua run at 4
