Club career

Ngadeu trained as a youth with Canon Yaoundé. After graduating in Cameroon, he spent six months learning German in order to study Civil Engineering in Germany.[1] Whilst in Germany, he played for SV Sandhausen II and 1. FC Nürnberg II, before transferring to Romanian club Botoșani in 2014, where he eventually wore the captain's armband.

Slavia Prague

Despite rumours linking him with a move to Steaua Bucharest,[2] in the summer of 2016 he completed a €500k transfer to Slavia Prague.

On 9 May 2018, he played as Slavia Prague won the 2017–18 Czech Cup final against Jablonec.[3]

In January 2019, a €4.5 million transfer to Premier League side Fulham fell through at the last minute, after Ngadeu had flown to London and passed a medical.[4]

He again featured heavily in the 2018–19 season, both in Slavia's Europa League campaign that ended in the quarter finals, and domestically, where the team secured their first domestic double since 1942.[5] At the end of the 2018–19 Czech First League season, he was voted the league's best defender.[6]

Gent

In July 2019, Ngadeu moved to Belgian club Gent.[7]

International career

Ngadeu made his senior debut for the Cameroon national team in a 2–0 win over The Gambia for 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualification.[8] He went on to play every minute of Cameroon's victorious 2017 Africa Cup of Nations campaign, scoring two goals, including a clearance off the line followed by the winning goal in the group stage match against Guinea-Bissau. He was ultimately named one of three defenders in the Confederation of African Football's Team of the Tournament.[9]

Upon his return from the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations, he scored the only hat-trick of his senior career for Slavia Prague in his first game back on 25 February 2017 in their 8–1 away win at Příbram.

In September 2018, he was named as captain for new manager Clarence Seedorf's first 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying game against The Comoros.[10]
