Harold Desty Moukoudi (born 27 November 1997) is a professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Super League Greece club AEK Athens. Born in France, he represents Cameroon at international level.

Early life[edit]

Moukoudi was born in Bondy, the same commune that Kylian Mbappé hails from. His parents were born in Douala, Cameroon. He acquired French nationality on 17 January 2000 through the collective effect of his father's naturalization.[1]

Club career[edit]

AEK Athens[edit]

On 17 August 2022, following his decision to leave Saint-Étienne, Moukoudi travelled to Athens to discuss a possible move to AEK.[2] One day later, the Greek club officially announced the signing of Moukoudi on a free transfer, until the summer of 2026.[3]

On 14 May 2023, AEK celebrated their 13th championship, after a comfortable 4–0 home win over Volos.[4] Ten days later, Moukoudi scored in the Greek Cup final, which saw AEK prevail over PAOK with a 2–0 win and seal their first double since 1978 and third overall, despite playing with ten players from the sixth minute.[5]

In early July, Lens offered a sum between €8 and €10 million, but the greek club turned it down.[6]

International career[edit]

Due to his dual nationality, Moukoudi was originally eligible to play for both the Cameroonian and French national teams. He is a former youth international for France.[7] He debuted for the senior Cameroon national team in a 0–0 friendly tie with Tunisia on 12 October 2019.[8]
