Montreal Impact’s Oyongo impresses as Cameroon win 2017 African Cup of Nations

Ambroise Oyongo will be entering the 2017 MLS season with an extra spark after winning the 2017 African Cup of Nations with Cameroon. The 25-year-old Montreal Impact left-back was a constant presence in the Indomitable Lions’ run to their fifth triumph at the biennial tournament and their first one since 2002.

This continues a whirlwind couple of years for Oyongo, which has seen him get involved in quite a bit of controversy (after being traded to Impact from previous owners New York Red Bulls in the 2015 off-season) before establishing himself as one of Major League Soccer’s premier defensive options.
