[edit] Club Career

[edit] Odd Grenland

He came to Odd in time for the 2006 season from Union Douala. After Odd purchased Tommy Svindal Larsen, he got less playing time as they didn't mix to well on the field and because they have restriction in Norway to who many non-EU players that can be on each team. He was then sold to Stabæk during the 2006 season for 3.000.000 NOK (aprox. £250.000).

[edit] Stabæk

At Stabæk he has been playing very well, so well that several Norwegian newspapers have touted him one of the best players in the league. Tchoyi is fast, strong and a techically gifted player, allthough his game is inconsistent. He was awarded the Norwegian Premier League's best player award in 2007.

[edit] Red Bull Salzburg

He joined Red Bull Salzburg on May 19, 2008.

[edit] International career

Tchoyi currently has not played for the national team of Cameroon, but has gained one call-up in 2005.
