Just days after extending his contract with Stoke City F.C. until 2028, Junior Tchamadeu has received high praise from teammate Róbert Boženík. The Slovakian forward highlighted the intensity, speed, and relentless activity of the Cameroonian full-back, who has become a key player for the English club.
Junior Tchamadeu's new contract continues to generate positive reactions in England. Boženík emphasized the Cameroonian defender's physical qualities and activity in a recent podcast, stating, "He never rests. In almost every action, he goes up and down the field. His speed is incredible, his runs in behind too, as is his ability to cover spaces".
Having arrived at the club in 2023, the 22-year-old has gradually established himself as an essential part of the team thanks to his intensity, versatility, and work rate. These qualities also seem to impress his partners on a daily basis. Tchamadeu has made 87 appearances since joining from Colchester United in the summer of 2023.
Tchamadeu expressed his pride in signing a new contract with Stoke City, emphasizing that he feels he has grown as a player since joining the club. He also stated that he appreciates his relationship with the fans and the environment within the club.
Despite a knee injury sustained while on international duty with Cameroon at the Africa Cup of Nations in January, which sidelined him for two months, Tchamadeu remains determined to show his worth. He has expressed his desire to get back in shape and fully demonstrate his capabilities, highlighting the support that the club and supporters have given him.
Stoke City Sporting Director Jonathan Walters said that Tchamadeu has the potential to become one of the most dynamic attacking full-backs in the league. Walters also noted the importance of working closely with Tchamadeu to ensure his availability for a sustained period.
Tchamadeu missed just one of City's first 21 Championship fixtures in the 2025-2026 season, as the Potters competed in the top six and boasted the division's best defensive record. In March 2025, he scored his first goal for Stoke in a 3-1 victory against Queens Park Rangers. As a full international with Cameroon, Tchamadeu aims to achieve his ambitions with Stoke City.
