Career

Nguen made his debut for Strømsgodset on 28 August 2011 against Fredrikstad.[1][3] The game ended 1–1.

He was injured most of the 2012 season, and only played four minutes in one match as a sub.[1] In 2013, when his team became champions, he was subbed on in two matches, with a combined 17 minutes of play.[1] In 2014 he was used as a sub in three matches, playing 76 minutes in total, as well as a cup game.[3]

On 6 August 2014, he was loaned out to 1. Divisjon club Bærum for the remainder of the 2014 season.[4]

On 10 August 2015, he was loaned out to Tippeligaen club Mjøndalen for the rest of the 2015 season.[5]

In June 2020, Nguen was given a written warning by the Hungarian Football Federation for celebrating his goal for Ferencvárosi TC against Puskás Akadémia FC by displaying a message on his undershirt condemning the killing of George Floyd.[6]

In the first round of the 2020–21 UEFA Champions League he scored twice against 2019 Allsvenskan-winner Djurgårdens IF Fotboll at Groupama Aréna on 19 August 2020. He scored his first group stage goal against FC Dynamo Kiev, a 59th minute goal to bring the match to 2-1. Ferencvaros would eventually equalize in the 90th minute.

International career

Nguen was born in a refugee camp in Kenya to South Sudanese parents, and moved to Norway at the age of 5. Nguen has made appearances for the Norway U18, and U19 squads.[7][8] He was called up by the South Sudan national team in September 2019.[9]
