Armel Tchakounte (born December 12, 1978) is an Cameroonian professional footballer who last played for QPR. He previously played for Hong Kong clubs Rangers and Kitchee and non league Carshalton Athletic in the 2005/06 season.

Early career

Tchakounte played competitive football in Cameroon before moving to Hong Kong where he joined Kitchee FC, and then Hong Kong Rangers.

Carshalton Athletic

Tchakounte was signed by English non-league side Carshalton Athletic at the beginning of January in 2006. At the time, Athletic were struggling at the bottom of the Conference South league table. Through-out his time with the club, he was known as Tchakounte Armel.

Tchakounte went straight in to the first team side and made his debut in their FA Trophy second round clash with Accrington Stanley, scoring a goal. He made his full league debut in the away fixture at fellow relegation strugglers Hayes on 26 March 2006 and scored again. His full playing record at Carshalton was 10 games and 5 substitute appearances. He was an un-used sub on 5 occasions. He scored 2 goals.

On 5 May 2006, Carshalton announced on their official website that Tchakounte Armel had signed for Football League Championship club Queens Park Rangers on a one year deal.

QPR career

Upon his arrival, the midfielder was announced as a Cameroon international footballer, although records suggest he has never represented the Cameroon national team. He only made five appearances for the reserve team before a mystery injury in December 2006 seemed to end his season.
