Italian name, Italian job: French-born Cameroonian sets off on a mission to Serie A

The name tells a lot about a man. So what happens when an African boy is born in France but given a typical Italian name? He gets to play football in Italy, of course!Udinese agreed to pay around $4 million to land Enzo Ebosse from Angers SCO. The 23-year-old left-back signed a five-year contract with the club from the northeast of Italy.##NAJAVA_MECA_6520518##The Friuli team submitted their first offer of around $1m a couple of months ago, but the French club kept their cool and held out for a much better fee for the versatile defender.The move hasn’t been officially confirmed just yet, but various media in both France and Italy claim that it’s only a matter of time before we see Enzo posing with an Udinese jersey.Ebosse came through the youth academy at Lens before moving on to Le Mans in 2019. He then joined Angers a year later, and has since become a key part of the defence, making 28 appearances this season after only playing six times in Ligue 1 in the previous campaign.🚨Enzo Ebosse 🔜 Udinese ⌛#ForzaUdinese pic.twitter.com/tgm4Trvc6i— Ekrem KONUR (@Ekremkonur) July 24, 2022 Angers have already brought in the replacement.
