Wolves closing in on signing of Cameroon defender
Wolves are closing in on the signing of Cameroonian defender Jackson Tchatchoua.
The 23-year-old, who currently plays for Hellas Verona in Italy's top flight, is set to become Wolves' new right-wing-back as the two clubs close in on an agreement for a fee in the region of £10.3million.
Wolves previously missed out on Marc Pubill to Atletico Madrid, while there has been an ongoing saga to sign Sevilla's Juanlu Sanchez, but the player has been waiting for an agreement to be reached with Napoli.
Vitor Pereira is keen to bring in another right-wing-back to rival Ki-Jana Hoever, following Nelson Semedo's departure, and Wolves have now moved to sign Tchatchoua.
The deal is expected to go through soon as Wolves work on finalising the agreement with the club and player.
Tchatchoua was born in Belgium and came through at Charleroi before joining Verona.
In his two seasons in Italy the defender has played 62 times in the league, scoring twice and assisting five more.
He is eligible to play for Cameroon and was first called up at youth level before making his senior bow last summer.
