FC Toulouse tweet of the signing
On his part, the new recruit has announced his signing for the French clubs. He has expressed gratitude to his family, relatives, the Mvoue Regine (First captain of Cameroons national women's team) for training him from childhood. We gathered that Utopia Group, Smart Sports and others helped the teenager to engage the all time record deal from Cameroon to a French club. Mvoue has thanked the groups and Cameroonian football star Samuel Eto'o.
Mvoue's tweet According to club sources, the deal is valued at €1Milion being the biggest ever transfer fee paid for a Cameroonian footballer coming directly from the country beating Charly Formen's move from Elite One side Panthere du Nde in 2009 valued at €600k to Marseille
The player has been in FC Toulouse for several trails and could only complete the deal after his 18th birthday we gathered. Football player argents with a strong value for the player have been analysing the choice of FC Toulouse that will be playing the second tier league and not other top flight clubs that needed him.
" I think that FC Toulouse is now like home for Steve because the club knows him and he knows the club and the city as well. He will requires less time for him to get adapted to the environment I think the choice was right because he will be comfortable there. Let me also add that the club will most probably be playing second division and will give him the opportunity to be on the starting lineup than to go to a Top tier club where he will not be starting games. The player will join directly the first team of Toulouse instead of joining the reserve as most of African players do when they join first a professional team in Europe. This fits very well in the long term carrier plan we have for him and other players we are working with." Ivo Chi told Hilltopvoices.
Steve Regis Mvoue joins his elder brother Stephane Zobo to begin a new professional carrier with FC Toulouse after he helped Cameroon win the Under-17 Africa Cup of Nations title in 2019. He was voted player of the tournament. He was added to Cameroon's provisional 34-man squad for the African cup of nations AFCON that took place same year in Egypt and lead Cameroon at the FIFA U-17 World Cup in Brazil.
