Wolverhampton Wanderers have completed the signing of defender Jackson Tchatchoua from Hellas Verona.
The Cameroon international has committed to a five-year deal at Molineux, with the option of extending for an additional 12 months.
The Premier League side have paid around £10m for the 23-year-old, who featured in 36 Serie A games last season.
Tchatchoua mostly operates as a right wing-back, while he can also slot in as a right-back in a traditional back four.

Jackson Tchatchoua has moved to Molineux from Hellas Verona, signing a five-year deal 🗞️
Wolves were in need of a new option at right-wing-back, as club captain Nelson Semedo left on a free transfer this summer after turning down a new deal to remain with Vitor Pereira's side.
The club's latest signing will provide plenty of speed and explosiveness down Wolves' right-hand side as he is known for his rapid movements on the pitch.
Last season, Tchatchoua was officially the fastest player in the Italian top division, as he clocked in an impressive top speed of 36.3km/h.

Tchatchoua's reaction to joining Wolves
After completing his move to Molineux, Tchatchoua expressed his delight and revealed what made him want to join Pereira's side.
"I feel happy to be here and I’m excited. I spoke a little bit with the coach. The Premier League is one of my dreams and it's one step that I want to do in my life, and also the history of the club, the stadium, the fans, this convinced me," the 23-year-old told official club channels.
The Cameroon international then touched on where Wolves fans can expect to see him operate on the pitch.
"I can play wing-back, I can play full-back. When the space is free, I really like it, and I can play both. I will play the position the coach puts me on the pitch, for the team."

Tchatchoua also spoke on how his experience of playing in Serie A can help him adjust to life in the Premier League.
"I learned a lot on the defensive phase, the tactics. In Italy you have a lot of big teams, a lot of big matches, and I think in England it’s the same. We have lot of good teams there," he explained.
"In Italy, you have a lot of exertions, because every match is difficult. I think it’s a good step before the Premier League, being focused on this," Tchatchoua added.
Wolves are next in action this Saturday (August 23), as Pereira's side face a trip to Bournemouth.
The team will hope to claim a positive result down in the south coast after a 4-0 loss at home to Manchester City on the opening weekend.
