Wolverhampton announced the recruitment of Jackson Chachua (24), who played for Hellas Verona on the 19th (Korea time). The transfer fee is 12.5 million euros (about 20.3 billion won), and the contract period is five years.
Chachua, who was born in Belgium, is a member of Cameroon's national team. His main positions are right full-back and wing-back. Last season, he became Serie A's fastest player with an average top speed of 34.88 km/h. Wolverhampton said Chachua had a top speed of 36.3 km/h last season.
It is not the best compared to the English Premier League (EPL). The fastest player is Mickey van der Penn, who is 'Son Heung-min. He was the fastest in the EPL during the 2024-2025 season. It recorded a top speed of 37.1 km/h. Van der Penn also holds the EPL record for a top speed of 37.38 km/h.
Chachua made his professional debut at Belgium's Charlaoua in 2021. Playing for two seasons for Charlua, he was loaned to Hellas in August 2023. Last year, he made a complete transfer. He scored two goals and three assists in 37 matches in all competitions, including 36 Serie games last season. He played in 10 A matches for Cameroon.
Chachua is Wolverhampton's fifth signing this summer, following Fer López, John Arias and David Moler Volpe, with Jérgen Strand Larsen having made a full transfer.

Negotiations between clubs are underway with Eze strongly hoping to move to Tottenham. European transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano, who is synonymous with Here WE GO, offered Palace an amount of £5,500 (about KRW 103.2 billion) and an option of £5 million (about KRW 9.4 billion) on the 18th. Chairman Daniel Levy is negotiating directly with Palace Chairman'
From Hwang Hee-chan's point of view, renting Palace is a blessing in disguise. He succeeded in renewing his contract with 12 career goals in the 2023-2024 season. However, he was completely behind the starting lineup last season. He only scored two goals and one assist in 25 games.
There is no place for him this season either. Manager Vitor Pereira said, `Hwang Hee-chan wants to play, he wants to be in the best 11, but we can't promise him a starting position.'
Wolverhampton was completely defeated by Manchester City 0-4 in the opening game of the EPL in the 2025-2026 season on the 17th. Hwang Hee-chan was replaced in the 37th minute of the second half. However, he did not show any significant performance. He also needs a way out.
