Nelson Mandela Mbouhom (born May 4, 1999 in Douala ) is a Cameroonian football player who is under contract with Sportfreunde Lotte . Mbouhom gained greater prominence in the fall of 2015 through an article in Spiegel that, based on his résumé, dealt with the “child trafficking” of African talent in football.

Career

Mbouhom was born in Douala, Cameroon, the youngest of seven children. At the age of eight he was invited to a trial training session by a scout from the Eto'o Foundation by Samuel Eto'o . After Mbouhom's mother ceded guardianship to the Foundation's staff, he flew to Spain at the age of nine and was accepted into La Masia , FC Barcelona's youth academy . After two years Mbouhom was sorted out and placed in the youth of Real Valladolid by a player agent when he was eleven . Since he did not feel comfortable there, he moved to his brother in Paris . Mbouhom completed a trial training at Paris Saint-Germain , but failed. The father of Georgios Spanoudakis, with whom he had shared a room in La Masia, then arranged a trial training session for Mbouhom at TSG 1899 Hoffenheim , for which he played in the 2012/13 season. For the 2013/14 season he moved to the C-youth team (U15) at Eintracht Frankfurt. With her Mbouhom won the South German championship. He scored a hat trick in the 4: 3 win in the final against Bayern Munich . Since Mbouhom only had a residence permit for France , he could not play any competitive games in the 2014/15 season and meanwhile not participate in training. After Spanoudakis' father took over his guardianship and Mbouhom received a residence permit, he played in the B-Junior and A-Junior Bundesliga in the 2015/16 and 2016/17 seasons .

For the 2017/18 season Mbouhom received his first professional contract with a term until June 30, 2019 and moved up to the professional squad of Niko Kovač . He was also used in the A-Jugend , for which he was last eligible to play in that season. In October 2017, Mbouhom tore a cruciate ligament , a partial tear of the inner ligament and a lesion of the outer meniscus . He was no longer used until the end of the season. In May 2018 won Mbouhom with Eintracht after a 3: 1 final win against Bayern Munich the German Cup . In August 2018 Mbouhom was removed from the squad by the new coach Adi Hütter and six other players and transferred to a separate training group. At the beginning of September 2018, he was reintegrated into team training together with the other four players who had not found a new club by the end of the transfer period. After Mbouhom had not come to any competitive game for the entire season, he left the club when his contract ended.

At the end of August 2019, the Cameroonian signed a one-year contract with Lotte, who had been relegated to the Regionalliga West .
