Picture[edit]

If he is the "most popular handball player in the world", can we get a photo of him? 174.94.0.81 (talk) 00:35, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There are plenty of photos on the internet, but we need a PD image. Maybe someone in France can snap a photo at one of his games and upload. Cbl62 (talk) 01:13, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's a good idea, is there any way to put in a request for that? (I'm new, so I wouldn't know.) 174.94.0.81 (talk) 01:20, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mvumbi is good[edit]
