City Group lead race for 17-year-old Congo Brazzaville midfielder with Lyon, Lens and Atletico Madrid also tracking emerging African talent.
The transfer market never truly stops. Numerous clubs in Europe and elsewhere have identified an emerging talent in Congo Brazzaville. Gedeon Nongo is being tracked by several outfits ahead of the upcoming transfer windows, notably in France, where Olympique Lyonnais and RC Lens are monitoring him closely according to our information.
His name probably does not mean much to you and yet, Gedeon Nongo (17 years old), midfielder, is already a promising prospect in African football. The young man, already a senior international (six caps) with Congo Brazzaville, leaves no one indifferent.
After playing in August at the CHAN, the equivalent of AFCON but reserved for players playing in their country's championship, as a starter (two draws and one defeat), the AS Otoho player continued with the senior national team managed by Isaac Ngata, having playing time during the 2026 World Cup qualifiers (against Tanzania, Niger and Morocco). With his club, he will take part in the group phase of the CAF Cup, the African equivalent of the Europa League.

Citygroup on the lookout
A precocity and qualities that have obviously not gone unnoticed in the market. Thus, according to information from Top Mercato, City Group, Bayer Leverkusen, Atletico Madrid and J-League outfits in Japan have already put his name in their notebooks.
But that is not all. Still according to our information, Olympique Lyonnais and RC Lens have also spotted the young talent and are on the lookout on this case. Make no mistake, Gedeon Nongo risks being talked about very soon in the market and on the pitch.
