Olympique Marseille<\/a> sports director Jose Anigo arrived in Douala, Cameroon on Tuesday leading a team of scouts from the French club with a mission to search for talented local footballers in the central African nation.<\/span><\/p>\n

The group will be guided by locally-based Fifa agent Mxim Nana during the expedition which will mostly concern Elite One (division one) clubs, a source close to the programme told Goal.com<\/strong> on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The Marseille scouts will commence their exercise by observing the players of Cameroon champions Coton Sports, whose charismatic former coach Denis Lavagne now heads the national team.<\/p>\n

Other clubs will also be visited by Les Phoceens experts, according to reports.<\/p>\n

In 2008, a similar exploration by Marseille led to the signing of defender Charly Fomen from Panthere sportive du Nde.<\/p>\n

Coton Sports have an exclusive contract with Nana for the placement of their players in the European market.<\/p>\n

A number of French clubs including Saint Etienne have also been scouting in Senegal, while Manchester City recently held a regional talent screening programme in Accra, Ghana, which was attended by many players from west African clubs.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
