Reims’ Director General Mathieu Lacour was full of praise for their new jewel.
“It is a huge satisfaction to welcome this young player who comes from one of the best football academies in France. He had the possibility of staying at Rennes who just gave him a professional contract. The project we presented to him is one that aims at helping him gain maturity with the club, and have the possibility of showing all his qualities with the first team. We believe in his potentials,” Lacour said after the player’s official presentation.
Nkada can commit his sports nationality to either Cameroon or France.
