Club career

Born in Kekem, Tchami began his career in Cameroon with Unisport Bafang before moving to Danish club Vejle BK. In his short spell at Vejle he scored 8 goals in 15 games, but was unable to prevent the club being relegated. Tchami's spell at Vejle led to interest from other Danish clubs and Tchami eventually moved to Odense BK (OB). Tchami was a part of the OB team that defeated Real Madrid in the 1994–95 UEFA Cup third round by 4–3 on aggregate, earning a place in the quarter-finals.

Tchami joined Argentinian club Boca Juniors shortly after the 1994 FIFA World Cup. In total Tchami played 50 games and scored 11 goals for Boca. After three years he returned to Europe with German side Hertha BSC. Tchami spent two season with Hertha before a spell in the United Arab Emirates with Al-Wasl.

Tchami was on trial with Bolton Wanderers in July 2000 [1] following his release, playing in friendly matches on Bolton's tour of Denmark, [2] [3] before signing for Dundee United in August. [4] Tchami spent four months at the Scottish club, leaving in December [5] after playing in four matches and failing to score. Nice was Tchami's next club, where he signed a short-term contract until the end of the season. [6] In August 2001, Tchami left France - putting what was termed a "bad spell" behind him [7] - and moved to Russian club Chernomorets, [8] before moving again, this time to Shenyang Ginde in China. He signed for Lebanese club Nejmeh in September 2003 but left after less than three weeks, [9] ending his career back in France with amateur side Épernay. His club career spanned twelve clubs in ten countries over four continents.
