Cameroon international Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting has capped off a stellar campaign in Major League Soccer, being named the New York Red Bulls Player of the Season by the club’s passionate fanbase.
The 36-year-old forward’s influence at Red Bull Arena this season has been undeniable. Across all competitions, Choupo-Moting netted 17 goals and provided five assists, consistently proving to be the team’s attacking heartbeat. His ability to combine physicality with technical skill has allowed him to thrive in the fast-paced MLS, where defenders often struggle to contain his movement and finishing.
Choupo-Moting’s campaign has been defined by moments of individual brilliance. From thunderous strikes from outside the box to clinical finishes inside the penalty area, the Cameroonian has shown a knack for arriving in the right place at the right time. His leadership on and off the pitch has also been a driving force for a Red Bulls side that has sought to balance youth development with experienced performers.
“For me, it’s always about giving my best for the team,” Choupo-Moting said after being named Player of the Season. “I’m grateful to the fans for their support. They push us to perform every game, and this award is as much theirs as it is mine.”
Since joining the Red Bulls, Choupo-Moting has quickly become a fan favourite. His experience in top European leagues—including stints at PSG, Bayern Munich, and Stoke City—has translated seamlessly into MLS, where his understanding of space and timing has often been the difference in tight encounters.
As New York looks ahead to next season, Choupo-Moting’s contribution will be central to their ambitions. His blend of experience, leadership, and goal-scoring prowess gives the Red Bulls a reliable talisman, capable of inspiring the next generation of stars in the squad.
With his Player of the Season accolade, Choupo-Moting not only cements his status as a key figure in New York but also continues to enhance his legacy as one of Cameroon’s most accomplished forwards of his generation.
