The Cameroon international travelled to London on Thursday for contract negotiations after the Cottagers matched his undisclosed release clause.

Claudio Ranieri’s side have been in the market for a new centre-back to shore up their defence after conceding a league-high 53 goals in 24 games so far this season.

The 28-year-old also featured in every minute of Cameroon’s triumphant 2017 Africa Cup of Nations campaign, scoring two goals and earning a place in the CAF team of the tournament.
