STARS IN EUROPE -Cameroon - CLUB - Henri Bedimo joins Olympique Marseille.

Henri Bedimo Olympique Marseille

 

Veteran defender Henri Bedimo joins Olympique Marseille from rivals Lyon, after signing a deal that will keep him at the Stade Velodrome until 2019.

It will be the Cameroonian's eighth French club.

"I love challenges and I believe I have joined a competitive side in Marseille," Bedimo told the club's website.

Bedimo, who has played 222 Ligue 1 matches, has turned out for Grenoble, Toulouse, Le Havre, Chateauroux, Lens and Montpellier - with whom he won the title in 2012 - before spending the last three seasons in Lyon.

 

Famara Diedhiou Angers 

 

Another African on the move is Senegal international striker Famara Diedhiou who joined French Ligue 1 club Angers on a four-year contract from second division side Sochaux.

He follows the route of Cameroonian striker Karl Toko Ekambi, who switched from Sochaux to Angers on Tuesday.

The 23-year-old was top scorer in Ligue 2 last season with 21 goals for Clermont Foot, where he was on loan. 
He was also Ligue 2 player of the year.

Diedhiou, who has been capped once by Senegal, joined Sochaux in 2014.
