Jaouen Hadjam was a regular for Young Boys in the 2025-26 Super League, making 20 appearances with 14 starts, two goals and four yellow cards. That mix of starts and substitute use pointed to a player trusted for meaningful league minutes rather than an automatic ever-present, while his goal return added some attacking value from left back.

Hadjam's senior path had moved from Paris FC to Nantes and then Young Boys by the age of 23. The pattern was a steady climb through three known clubs, with permanent moves rather than loans, and his €4.00m market value reflected a player whose profile had grown since leaving Paris FC.
