Wilfrid Jaures Kaptoum (born 7 July 1996) is a Cameroonian professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for Betis Deportivo Balompié.

Club career

Barcelona

Born in Douala, Kaptoum joined FC Barcelona's youth ranks in 2008, aged 12, after a stint in Samuel Eto'o's foundation.[2] He was subsequently loaned to neighbouring UE Sant Andreu,[3] and in June 2014 was promoted to the reserves in Segunda División.[4]

Kaptoum played his first match as a professional on 23 August 2014, starting in a 0–2 away loss against CA Osasuna.[5] He scored his first goal on 19 October, netting the second in a 4–1 home win against AD Alcorcón.[6] On 28 October 2015, Kaptoum made his debut for Barcelona's first team, starting in a goalless draw away to CF Villanovense in the season's Copa del Rey.[7]

Kaptoum's first appearance in the UEFA Champions League came on 9 December 2015, in a 1–1 draw away to Leverkusen.[8][9] In another 1–1 draw game against Valencia CF on 10 February 2016, he scored his debut goal for the first team 2 minutes after coming in as a substitute in the second leg of Copa del Rey semifinals.[10][11] His goal also served to extend FC Barcelona's unbeaten run to 29 games, breaking the previous record of 28 games set under Pep Guardiola in the 2010–11 season.[12]

Kaptoum sustained a knee injury which kept him out of action for five months. He returned to fitness in December 2017.[13] On 29 January 2018, he agreed to terminate his contract with Barcelona.[13]

Betis

On 31 January 2018, two days after leaving Barcelona, Kaptoum signed with Real Betis.[14] Kaptoum made his La Liga debut on 3 February 2019, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 home win against Atlético Madrid.
