Tchatchoua began his career at Belgian club Charleroi before spending a year on loan at Hellas Verona, where he later signed permanently in 2024.
In the last season, he scored two goals and provided three assists in 37 appearances for Hellas.
He is the fifth signing for Wolves this transfer window, following the permanent acquisition of forward Jorgen Strand Larsen for £23 million after a successful loan, along with forward Fer Lopez for £19 million, winger Jhon Arias for £15 million, and defender David Moller Wolfe for £10 million.
