Wolverhampton Wanderers have officially announced the signing of Jackson Tchatchoua, a promising 23-year-old Cameroon international, from Serie A side Hellas Verona. The deal, valued at €12.5 million, sees the versatile defender sign a five-year contract at Molineux.
Tchatchoua, who can play as both a right-back and a wing-back, arrives with a growing reputation, primarily for his blistering speed. Last season in Italy, he was officially recognized as the fastest player in Serie A, recording a top speed of 36.3 km/h . This pace is expected to add a new dimension to Wolves’ defensive line and attacking transition.
The defender expressed his excitement about the move, stating, “The Premier League is one of my dreams, and with the history of the club, the stadium, and the fans, this convinced me.” His arrival is seen as a direct replacement for Nelson Semedo, whose contract expired at the end of last season.
