Tchatchoua strengthens Wolves defence

Wolves have announced the signing of Jackson Tchatchoua from Hellas Verona on a five year contract with a one year option. The Belgium born right wing back is a Cameroon international and is noted for blistering speed, having posted the top sprint speed in Serie A last season at 36.3 km/h. The 23 year old began his senior career with Charleroi in Belgium, where he developed as a wing back before moving to Verona on loan and then earning a permanent move after an impressive campaign.

The transfer adds pace and versatility to Wolves, who see a player capable of operating on either flank and providing width from deep positions. Tchatchoua made his Cameroon debut while with Verona, later contributing 43 appearances across club and country last season as Verona secured Serie A safety and Cameroon booked a place at the Africa Cup of Nations. His arrival at Molineux follows a pattern of valuing speed on the flanks, and the player is set to join a squad intent on more dynamic attacking options.

The deal underscores a broader trend in European football where pace on the wings is increasingly valued as a differentiator. Tchatchoua brings not only speed but also cross winning attributes from his Charleroi days, giving Wolves a flexible option who can play on both sides. In the Premier League, his pace can help cover defensively while offering rapid counter attacks. The challenge will be integration and staying fit across a demanding schedule, but the long contract suggests a belief in his long term contribution to the club’s identity and plan.

Highlights

The transfer sets a clear tone for Wolves as they pursue speed and flexibility this season.
