Career

Recruited by Mamelodi Sundowns of the South African Premier Division for 1999/00, Amougou racked 15 goals that season, showing the ability of his left foot but his next two years at Chloorkop were plagued by injuries and other problems.[1]
Speculation about him being arrested abated when he was called to front the Sundowns' attack in the first round of the 2000 CAF Champions League.[2]
Ukraine
Reinforcing Metalist Kharkiv of the Ukrainian Premier League in 2002, the first African to be in the club,[3] the Cameroonian racked 4 league and 1 cup outing there, debuting on 27 July in a 1–1 tie with Obolon[4] before being released by the end 2002.[5] Two reasons for his release are that he did not lineup to expectations and that he did not like the Ukrainian environment.[4]

Set to complete a move to IFK Norrköping of the Swedish Allsvenskan in 2002,[6] Peking rejected the forward, causing him to return home.[7]
