Wolves sign Hwang Hee-chan from RB Leipzig on loan
Wolverhampton Wanderers have completed the signing of RB Leipzig’s South Korean striker Hwang Hee-chan form on a season-long loan with a £13m purchase option.
After completing a medical on Sunday morning, the 25-year-old was unveiled on the pitch at Molineux ahead of
Wolves’ Premier League match against
Manchester United.
He scored three goals in 26 appearances in all competitions for the Bundesliga club.
Wolves technical director
Scott Sellars
said:
"Hwang's a player we've watched for a few years now, when he was at Salzburg.
"He's got a lot of talent and is very versatile - he can play across all the front positions, a striker, second striker or wide. He had a fantastic goal-scoring record at Salzburg and will give us a good option in the front areas.
"He's got a good pedigree, having played Champions League football and at a World Cup. He's got a lot of pace, power and strength - he's probably a little bit different to what we've got, and we think he's a strong acquisition for the squad.
"Ultimately, we felt it was an area where competition is important, so when somebody becomes available on loan, with his quality and experience, and he has a desire to come, it becomes an exciting opportunity - we're certain he's going to add quality to the group."
