Club career

Born in Clamart in Hauts-de-Seine, Edjouma began playing football for Lavaur in 2010. In 2012, he joined Toulouse Fontaines, and a year later Toulouse FC. With Toulouse's under-17 team, he was a national champion in 2022. [1] [2]

In March 2023, 17-year-old Edjouma signed his first professional contract at Toulouse, for three years with the option of a fourth. [1] He made his debut on 7 January 2024 in the round of 64 of the Coupe de France, in which his club was the title holder. Away to Championnat National 3 club Chambéry SF, he came on as an 82nd-minute substitute in a 3–0 win; shortly after entering the game he shot against the crossbar, and Thijs Dallinga scored from the rebound. [3] Two weeks later in the next round away to Rouen of the Championnat National, he came on with three minutes remaining of a 3–3 draw and scored his attempt in the penalty shootout, though his side lost 12–11. [4]

On 9 February 2025, Edjouma made his Ligue 1 debut for Toulouse in a 2–2 draw away to Auxerre, scoring the final goal of the game. [5]

International career

In November 2022, Edjouma was called up by the France under-18 team for two friendly matches against Italy at INF Clairefontaine. [6] He came on as a substitute in both and scored in the latter, a 3–0 win on 20 November. [7]

Edjouma was first called up to the under-20 side by manager Bernard Diomède in September 2022, as a late injury replacement for two warm-up games against Switzerland. [8]

Personal life

Edjouma was born in France to a Cameroonian father and Moroccan mother. [9] His older brother, Malcom (born 1996), is also a footballer. A midfielder, he represented several clubs in France and FCSB in Romania. [1]
