Like every week, OneFootball introduces you to the new gems of world football.

This week, we present to you Valentin Atangana Edoa, the star of Stade de Reims.

If you follow Ligue 1, the name Valentin Atangana Edoa surely rings a bell.

A robust defensive midfielder, the 19-year-old is one of the future key players of the championship.

A starter since the beginning of the season with Reims, he is one of the strong men of the season despite the club's complicated situation.

Described as a "born leader" by the club's sporting director, Pol-Edouard Caillot, Atangana Edoa is a complete player with good technical skills and knows how to handle pressure with the ball at his feet.

A defensive midfielder by trade, the player had to step up in defense against PSG this season due to Joseph Okumu's absence, a performance that was both noticed and remarkable.

Edoa notably scored during his first match with the France U21 team in November 2024.
