Cameroon may soon witness the infusion of fresh talent with the potential addition of Jackson Tchatchoua, the Belgian-born footballer of Cameroonian descent. Tchatchoua, in a recent statement, shed light on his aspirations to contribute to the national squad.
While the Indomitable Lions have showcased their prowess on the international stage, the prospect of Jackson Tchatchoua joining the ranks adds an intriguing layer to Cameroon’s football landscape.
Born in Cameroon but raised in Belgium, Tchatchoua addressed speculation regarding his birthplace, emphasizing that he was indeed born in Cameroon and relocated to Belgium during his infancy.
The 22-year-old midfielder, currently on loan at Hellas Verona in Serie A, offers versatility and promising skills that could bolster the Cameroon national team.
Tchatchoua provided a glimpse into his football journey, revealing his participation with the under-23 team under the leadership of Samuel Eto’o in the previous year.
While the talented player remains discreet about his potential selection for the national team, his statements hint at a fervent desire to represent Cameroon on the international stage.
Tchatchoua clarified misinformation circulating online about his birthplace, firmly asserting his Cameroonian origins.
In his own words, Tchatchoua expressed, “On the internet, they say that I was born in Brussels, but that is not true. It’s in Cameroon.
I arrived in Belgium when I was a baby. I played with the Espoirs (U23 Cameroon) last year. I studied in Belgium, and it is also my country. I will try to make the best choice when the time comes.”
With an impressive record of 18 matches and two assists this season, Jackson Tchatchoua’s emergence as a formidable midfielder suggests a promising future.
As the prospect of his inclusion in the Indomitable Lions looms, Cameroon anticipates the potential infusion of talent and fresh energy into its national football squad.
