Cameroon national team captain Benjamin Moukandjo is all set to move from Lorient to the Chinese Super League outfit Jiangsu Suning, the French club confirmed today.

The 28-year-old midfielder has signed a deal which French media report was worth up to 5.5 million euros.

Moukandjo, whose previous clubs include AS Monaco and Nancy in France, has scored 13 goals in 25 apperance for Lorient.

However,despite enjoying great success with the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon last season as they defied pre-tournament expectations to defeat Egypt and win the Nations Cup, Moukandjo wasn’t able to save Lorient from relegation.

Les Merlus will compete in Ligue 2 next season after losing a relegation playoff against Troyes after finishing 18th in the top flight.

The Douala-born forward is rumoured to have turned down the opportunity to sign for Championship side Birmingham City in favour of the Chinese side.
