Wolves are closing in on the loan signing of RB Leipzig star Hee-chan Hwang.

According to Sky Sports News, the South Korean international has landed in England and has arrived in the West Midlands for a medical with Wolves.

As per the report, Hwang will initially sign for Wolves on loan, with the Premier League side having a £13m option to make the deal permanent. The 25-year-old forward only joining Leipzig last summer from Austria.

The attacker flourished whilst at RB Salzburg alongside the likes of Erling Haaland and Takumi Minamino. However, since moving to Germany, Hwang has struggled in front of goal.

The attacker has managed just three goals in 29 appearances for, all of which came in the DFB Pokal.

Hwang also made just three starts in the Bundesliga for Leipzig. The east German side once again secured UEFA Champions League football.

Although Hwang failed to adapt to life in Germany, a move to England with Wolves could be what the attacker needs to get his career and goal-scoring form back on track.

The striker was electric for Salzburg in an attacking trident alongside Haaland and Minamino.

And with the likes of Adama Traore and Raul Jiminez at Wolves, Hwang could be a great new element to the forward ling for the Molineux club.
