Aurélien Bayard Chedjou Fongang (French pronunciation: [ɔʁeljɑ̃ ʃɛdʒu]; born 20 June 1985) is a Cameroonian professional footballer who plays as a centre back for Turkish club Galatasaray and the Cameroon national team.

Club career

Chedjou signed for Lille at the start of the 2007-08 season, and over five years made over 150 league appearances for the club, helping them to a third Ligue 1 title and Coupe de France success in 2011. He scored his first UEFA Europa League goal on 21 October 2010 against Levski Sofia after a Stéphane Dumont assist to help his team to a 1-0 win.

His performances with Lille have led to him being scouted by several prominent European clubs. English club Newcastle United[1] Spanish side Valencia[2] have all declared their interests in the Cameroonian defender.

On 25 May 2013, Chedjou passed his medical and signed for four years with Galatasaray.

In 2013-14, Chedjou played every minute of Galatasaray's UEFA Champions League campaign, scoring in the round of 16 home leg against Chelsea F.C.[3]
