He is the Cologne Wall. Jeff Chabot has matured into head of defense in one and a half years at Effzeh under coach Steffen Baumgart. His tackle rate this season is 65.1 percent, which puts him in the top 10 in the Bundesliga.
When Chabot initially came to Cologne on loan from Sampdoria Genoa in the winter of 2022, he was gradually built up. His final breakthrough came after the Winter World Championships in Qatar. He had previously struggled with an ankle injury and was able to recover from it during the long break.
Since then there has been no way around him. He was in Baumgart’s Bundesliga starting eleven 27 times across seasons. Chabot and Timo Hübers form an outstanding duo. He regularly proves that the €2.5 million paid was a bargain.
Scouts from other teams are also noticing this steep development. In addition to various Premier League clubs, according to SPORT1 information, various top clubs from the Bundesliga have also kept an eye on the 25-year-old left-footer.
In any case, in his current condition, Chabot is one of the best defensive players in the league. His nickname is respectfully “Bouncer.” However, despite all the toughness, the Hanau native is very clean overall in the man-on-man duel and has not yet received a yellow card suspension. He was thrown off the field once and received a red card in qualifying for the Conference League.
Overall, his motto is: Tough but fair! It is unclear how long Chabot, who is bound until 2026, will continue to defend for Cologne. Interested clubs would probably have to shell out 15 million euros for a player of this quality.
