BREAKING: Wolverhampton Seal €18M Deal for Rennes Star Christopher Wooh, Completing His Rapid Climb to Premier League Prominence…
Wolverhampton Wanderers have officially completed the signing of highly-rated defender Christopher Wooh from Ligue 1 side Stade Rennais in a deal worth €18 million, sources close to the club have confirmed.
The 22-year-old Cameroon international has been on Wolves’ radar for several months following a string of standout performances in France’s top flight. Known for his commanding presence, aerial strength, and ability to play out from the back, Wooh is seen as a long-term solution to bolster the Molineux side’s defensive line.
Wolves moved swiftly to beat off interest from other European clubs, with the deal finalized following productive talks earlier this week. The player is expected to join the squad during their pre-season preparations, with medicals completed and personal terms agreed.
Wooh’s move to the Premier League marks a rapid and impressive rise through the ranks of European football. Having only joined Rennes in 2022, the young defender quickly established himself as a reliable force at the back. His performances in Ligue 1 and on the international stage with Cameroon, including appearances at the Africa Cup of Nations and the FIFA World Cup, caught the attention of top clubs across the continent.
Wolves manager Gary O’Neil is said to be a strong admirer of Wooh’s physicality and composure under pressure, and views him as a key piece in the club’s evolving defensive system ahead of the new Premier League season.
This signing continues Wolves’ efforts to invest in youthful, high-potential talents capable of making an immediate impact while growing into key players for the future. Fans will be eager to see how Wooh adapts to the pace and intensity of English football, but all signs point to a defender ready for the challenge.
Wolverhampton are expected to announce the deal officially within the next 24 hours.
