Wilfrid Kaptoum

Wilfrid Jaures Kaptoum is a Cameroonian professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for Primera Federación club Cacereño. Born on July 7, 1996, in Douala, Cameroon, Kaptoum began his youth career at Samuel Eto'o's foundation before joining FC Barcelona's youth ranks in 2008.

Kaptoum made his debut with the first team of FC Barcelona on October 19, 2015, in a match against AD Alcorcón. He scored his debut goal for the club in that same game, helping Barça secure a 4-1 win at home. The following year, Kaptoum played in several matches for the reserve group and made his Champions League debut on October 28, 2015.

In June 2014, Kaptoum was promoted to FC Barcelona's "B" team, where he played only three games that season before being called up to the first team. He went on to play in several matches for Barça B and made his professional debut with the main squad on August 23, 2014.

Kaptoum's breakthrough moment came in February 2016 when he scored his first goal for FC Barcelona in a King's Cup match against Valencia CF. The game ended in a 1-1 draw, but Kaptoum's performance earned him recognition and more playing time with the team.
