Cameroon internationals joined Taishan in the Chinese Super League to strengthen the backline to attack the AFC Champions League
Taejeong brought in South Korea's K League MVP Zeka and Hazar to form a powerful attacking triangle consisting of Cressan, Zeka, and Haza. However, the problem now is that in their midfield position, Judson has to rest three times per appearance due to his fragile body, so his performance is not good, and Shi Ke has made his defense even more flawed. Although Zheng Zheng has qualifications, he is too old after all, and Li Hailong and Zhao Jianfei are not up to the task. In view of the implementation of the 5+1 rule in the AFC Champions League, the introduction of a strong midfielder has become a much-needed problem for Taishan.
According to the local Turkish newspaper TV100, the main midfielder of the Cameroon national team, Olivier Koeman, who is also a member of the Turkish Super League's Kayselli Football Club, is interested in joining the team in the Super League. Tarzan are a wealthy club and they want to make up for the void at the back with the signing of a top foreign player on a priority basis.
The 27-year-old is a midfielder. He has been playing well for Kayseri Athletic for the past two years, which has made him a consistent starter and has also taken his team to fourth place in the Premier League this season. Koeman was also part of Cameroon's Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, having played three times. Koeman's ** is around 2.4 million euros, which is equivalent to 19 million, which is a sky-high price in the Premier League, but given the financial situation of teams like Tarzan and Port, the money is not difficult for them. Taishan is about to welcome Luneng for the new season, and their financial resources are much stronger than they are now, so there is no problem in signing Koeman.
The arrival of Coman will greatly improve the age structure of the Tarzan back line, giving Tarzan a solid defensive line for the next five years. Koeman will also show his ability in Taishan to help his team win the Chinese Super League, FA Cup and AFC Champions League.
