Chancel Mbemba Mangulu (born 8 August 1994) is a Congolese international footballer who plays for English club Newcastle United.[2]

Early life

Mbemba grew up in Kinshasa in a family of nine children. His mother Antoinette is a former basketball player who represented DR Congo.[3][4]

Career

Anderlecht

After playing youth football for several clubs including E.S. La Grace and FC MK Etanchéité in Kinshasa, Mbemba joined Belgian club Anderlecht in 2012.[3]

Mbemba mainly played with Anderlecht reserve and youth teams. At this point Mbemba requested to have a bone scan to dispel rumours that he was older than he actually was.[5] The bone scan proved his age was indeed correct.[6] Mbemba eventually made his senior debut on 28 July 2013 in their opening match of the 2013–14 Belgian Pro League season, a 2–3 defeat to Lokeren.[2]

He made a further 28 appearances during the 2014–15 season as they finished in third spot in the league. They also finished runners-up in the 2014–15 Belgian Cup, losing 1–2 to Club Brugge in the final.[7]

Newcastle United

On 26 July 2015, English Premier League side Newcastle United confirmed that they have reached an agreement with Anderlecht for the transfer of Mbemba, who also agreed personal terms and passed a medical.[8] On 30 July, Mbemba was officially unveiled as a Newcastle United player, signing a five-year contract with the club.[9]
