He had been left dragging his pain on the Saint-Etienne side. We will find it in the region that revealed it: Brittany. But Paul-Georges Ntep did not return to Stade Rennais, the striker signed for En Avant Guingamp in Ligue 2. Without a club since the termination of his contract with Wolsfburg in February, the former French international and then Cameroonian has signed up for a season.

"You know you are on the right track when looking back is no longer of interest to you." Thank you Guingamp for the trust, first of all, ”wrote the attacker on his Instagram account.
At 27, this powerful winger has the distinction of having played in two different international jerseys, first two friendly matches with the French team in 2015, then in 2018 and 2019 two games with Indomitable Lions of Cameroon, his native country.
Former darling of Roazhon Park
After growing up in the Paris region, he was trained in Auxerre, where he made his professional debut, before revealing himself in Rennes from 2014: 18 goals scored and 14 assists in 74 games, despite a series of muscle injuries. In January 2017, he left for Wolfsburg - for 5 million euros according to the German press -, in the hope of following in the footsteps of his friend Ousmane Dembélé, who left Rennes six months earlier to make the happiness of Borussia Dortmund.
But the dream came to an end: his first performances in the Bundesliga were not conclusive and he was quickly put back on the bench and then loaned, six months to Saint-Etienne in 2018 and a few months to Kayserispor (Turkey) in 2019, before to terminate his contract in February.
For Guingamp, who announced at the beginning of the week the arrival of Frédéric Bompard, long-time assistant to Rudi Garcia, as assistant coach alongside Sylvain Didot, the recruitment of this former great hope for French football is a gamble, given the little of games he has played in recent years. But after his passage in Rennes, he left in Brittany the image of a perfectionist boy, intelligent and very smiling, whooping cough of the Rennes public, leading the "clapping" of the end of the match at Roazhon Park on victory evenings.
