Born on 12 February 1998 in Germany, Jeff Chabot is a force to be reckoned with in the footballing world. Plying his trade as a central defender, Chabot currently forms the defensive backbone for Stuttgart, wearing the number 24 jersey. Standing tall at 6ft 3in (1.92m) and tipping the scales at 14st (89kg), Chabot manages to combine sheer physicality with intricate technical skill.
As reported by Transfermarkt, Chabot's current market value hovers around the £13 million mark. A hefty price tag, reflecting his undeniable prowess.
Chabot's journey began in earnest at RB Leipzig II in the Oberliga in Germany. In July 2017, he took the helm of his career and sailed towards Sparta Rotterdam in the Eredivisie in the Netherlands. His debut season at Rotterdam saw him make 20 appearances and score a couple of notable goals in league matches.
In July 2018, his journey led him to the shores of FC Groningen. After transferring from Sparta Rotterdam for a fee in the ballpark of £1.1 million, he scored once in 28 first team appearances in his 2018-2019 season.
The following summer of 2019 saw another move for Chabot. A transfer totalling £3.4 million saw him leave FC Groningen and head to Sampdoria in the Serie B in Italy. His stint at Sampdoria was remarkable with eight appearances and a single goal in the 2019-2020 season, followed by 11 league appearances in the 2021-2022 season.
In September 2020, he switched Italian shores from Sampdoria to Spezia on loan, where he made 25 appearances and found the back of the net once. He returned to Sampdoria once his loan stint ended in June 2021.
The German powerhouse made his return to the Bundesliga with Cologne in January 2022, first on loan, then transferring permanently in July 2023 for a fee of roughly £2.2 million. At Cologne, Chabot truly hit his stride, consistently making first team appearances in the seasons following 2021.
In July 2024, Chabot made yet another sizable move, this time transferring from Cologne to Stuttgart for a fee of £3.4 million. As of the end of the 2025 - 2026 season, Chabot has made 19 appearances for Stuttgart.
Beyond his contributions in the league, Chabot has also showed up in major competitions, seen in his participation in DFL-Supercup 2025 - 2026 for Stuttgart with one start, and the Europa League 2025 - 2026 also for Stuttgart, where he started six matches.
Despite his many moves and changes of scenery, one thing remains constant - Jeff Chabot's consistent and sterling performances. He continues to be an integral part of Stuttgart's defensive line, playing with the same vigour as he did during his formative playing days in Germany.
