Gabon international striker Malick Evouna is set to join Chinese Super League side Tianjin Teda from Egyptian giants Al Ahly.

Evouna joined Ahly last summer from Moroccan side Wydad Casablanca. 

He scored 12 goals in 24 matches to help them win their 38th league title.

Evouna has scored 10 goals in 19 appearances for his country and played for the Panthers at the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations on home soil.
