OM coach Gennaro Gattuso said on Friday that he expects a quick reinforcement in midfield, where his team is “in the worst shape”, with many absences related to the Africa Cup of Nations or injuries. This is what he has done with Jean Onana (24 years old, 1. 89 m), former player of Girondins de Bordeaux.
In this sector of play, the Italian coach is at a disadvantage against Valentin Rongier, who is injured and will not play again before February, and against Azzedine Ounahi, Amine Harit and Pape Gueye, all of whom come from CAN. The only two experienced players in this sector are Geoffrey Kondogbia and Jordan Veretout.
Trained at the Nkufo Academy in Cameroon, in Portugal and more precisely at Leixões SC, at the age of 19, Jean Onana made his professional debut in 2019. A year later, he joined the Doges de Lille with whom he played his first matches in Ligue 1. . . against OM in February 2020. The following summer, the forged defensive midfielder was loaned to SC Mouscron in the Jupiler Pro League, where he made 29 appearances (2 goals) and became a Cameroonian international.
Back in France, Jean Onana signed for Girondins de Bordeaux in 2021. With the shirt adorned with the scapular, the Indomitable Lion (10 caps) scored 3 goals in 26 games. He signed for RC Lens in the summer of 2022. After 23 games for Sang et Or and contributing to their qualification for the Champions League, Besiktas Istanbul registers his arrival at the last transfer window of the summer.
