Moukoudi was born inBondy, the same commune thatKylian Mbappé hails from. His parents were born inDouala,Cameroon. He acquiredFrench nationality on 17 January 2000 through the collective effect of his father'snaturalization.[1]
At the end of the contract in June 2019, he signed on 29 March 2019 in favour ofAS Saint-Étienne.[2] Moukoudi takes his first steps under the on August 10, 2019, the first day of the2019–20 Ligue 1 season against theDijon FCO.

On January 31, 2020, he was loaned toMiddlesbrough. He is remembered by Saint-Étienne as early as July, in order to compete in theCoupe de France final againstPSG.[3] Moukoudi established himself in theLes Verts workforce as a reliable defence value in the following year. But the 2021-2022 season of the formerLe Havre is a nightmare that he competes in 26 games under the green jersey, and wins no victory.[4] The latter were relegated toLigue 2 after a lose in return againstAuxerre.[5]
