Jackson Tchatchoua

Wolves bolstered their defensive options with the signing of Jackson Tchatchoua from Serie A side Hellas Verona on a five-year deal in August 2025.

The Belgium-born right-wing-back, whose deal includes a 12-month option, is a Cameroon international and joined after two years in the top tier of Italian football, where he was recognised as the fastest player in Serie A in 2024/25.

The 23-year-old began his senior career with Charleroi in Belgium, debuting four years ago and even then, still a teenager, he was already operating as a wing-back and providing assists.

A first senior goal arrived away to Genk from the right, while his second came from the left against RFC Seraing, and showed the raw pace Tchatchoua possesses, as well as his versatility.

During his second season with Charleroi, Tchatchoua declared himself available for Cameroon and, having been called up to their under-23s group, made his senior debut in a World Cup qualifier against Cape Verde in June 2024.

That international debut came as a Hellas Verona player, where he initially joined on loan. Tchatchoua claimed a debut assist against Frosinone and impressed enough against Italy’s elite to earn a permanent move.

Last season, the youngster was a regular for club and country, playing 43 games in total as Verona retained their Serie A status and Cameroon booked their place in December’s Africa Cup of Nations.

Tchatchoua, who in 2024/25 produced the top speed in the Serie A at 36.3km/h, finished the campaign with two goals and three assists, the latest coming in his final Serie A game for the club against Empoli in May, before his move to Molineux.
