Nicolas Nkoulou

Nicolas Nkoulou, Cameroonian footballer
Nicolas Julio Nkoulou Ndoubena (born 27 March 1990), known as Nicolas Nkoulou, is a Cameroonian professional footballer who plays as a defender for Premier League club Watford.

Nkoulou began his career in the French league with Monaco, where he spent three years before signing for Marseille in 2011. With Marseille, he won his first senior trophy, the Coupe de la Ligue in the 2011–12 season. In 2016, he left Marseille for Lyon, but after a disappointing year he left to join Italian club Torino, initially on loan but later on a permanent basis. Though initially impressing, he fell out of favour, and left the club in 2021, before signing for English club Watford

Internationally, Nkoulou played 75 times for Cameroon between 2008 and 2017, and retired shortly after winning the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations, scoring the equalising goal in the final. He represented Cameroon in two World Cups and three Africa Cup of Nations.
