West Ham in Jackson Tchatchoua tussle
Premier League sides are always looking for a value signing from anywhere, as Jackson Tchatchoua emerges as a target of that sort. The 22-year-old Serie A full-back has had an impressive first season in Italy while on loan with Hellas Verona, who have since made his move from Belgian side Charleroi permanent by paying the €3 million asking price.
Verona are understandably keen to profit immediately from the full-back’s sale, as they have set an €8 million asking price for the 22-year-old’s signature. Everton have chased Tchatchoua in recent days, as they need to bring a new right-back to cover for the ineffective Nathan Patterson and the ageing Seamus Coleman.
In the last few days, West Ham United have entered the conversation for Jackson Tchatchoua, which has made Verona more confident of achieving their asking price. The Hammers are also in the market for a new right back and have set sights on the signing of Tchatchoua, who could be seen as a value-based signing.
