I absolutely wanted to go to Augsburg, because the FCA is an ambitious club in which young players are optimally encouraged and developed. I will hardly approach the matter with full energy and I can hardly wait to wear the FCA jersey from summer,” said Dong, who has both French and Cameroonian citizenship.

We are looking forward to working and wishing Kyliane a good start and success at the FCA,” explained sports director Marinko, “explained Jurendic.
