Cameroon striker Alex Mermoz close to Sisaket United move in Thailand

Cameroon international Alex Mermoz is on the verge of securing another move in Thailand, with newly promoted Sisaket United reportedly in advanced negotiations to sign the forward ahead of the 2026/27 season.

The Thai club is looking to strengthen its squad after earning promotion to the country’s top flight and sees the experienced Cameroonian as a key addition as it prepares for the challenge of avoiding an immediate return to the second tier.

According to reports, discussions between Sisaket United and the player’s representatives have reached an advanced stage, with an agreement expected in the coming days if negotiations continue to progress.

For Mermoz, the potential move would represent another chapter in a career that has largely been built in Thai football, where he has gained valuable experience with several clubs.

The transfer is also another example of African footballers continuing to attract opportunities across Asia, with players from the continent increasingly becoming important figures in leagues outside Europe.

Sisaket United’s interest comes as the club prepares for life in the Thai League after winning promotion.

Strengthening the squad has become a priority, and the club is targeting players with experience of the local game who can adapt quickly to the demands of the competition.

Mermoz appears to fit that profile.

The Cameroonian forward developed through the youth academy of Fovu de Baham before moving abroad to continue his professional career.

Since arriving in Thailand, he has represented several clubs, building a reputation through his familiarity with the country’s football environment.

His previous teams include Samut Sakhon FC, Marine FC, Lopburi City and Chiangmai United, giving him extensive experience across different levels of Thai football.

That experience is believed to be one of the main reasons Sisaket United have identified him as a suitable recruit as they seek stability in their first season after promotion.

Rather than needing time to adjust to a new country or league, Mermoz already understands the demands of Thai football, something that could make him an immediate option if the transfer is completed.

The move would also offer the Cameroonian another opportunity to establish himself at a club with ambitious plans following its promotion.

According to the report, negotiations are progressing well between both parties, although no official announcement has yet been made.
