Hee-chan Hwang Set for Wolves Exit as Clubs Make Moves

Hee-chan Hwang might leave Wolverhampton Wanderers this summer, as two clubs have already shown interest in the Korean player.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Interest in Hee-chan Hwang is growing after a difficult 2024/25 season. He played only 25 times for Wolves in all competitions, scoring once and often being injured. Compared to 2,249 minutes the previous year, the striker only managed 868 this season. Because Matheus Cunha, Marshall Munetsi, and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde were more competitive, Hwang moved down the order. His future at Molineux is uncertain, since Wolves have confirmed a number of changes and several clubs are keeping an eye on him. According to reports, club officials no longer need him, and it is expected that offers close to £21 million will be accepted.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Hwang’s reduction in playing time reflects larger changes at Wolves. The team finished the Premier League season not far outside of the drop zone in 16th position as they look to revamp their roster. Wolves are looking to strengthen key positions for head coach Vitor Pereira, with several key players, including Matheus Cunha, Rayan Ait-Nouri, Craig Dawson, Carlos Forbs, and Pablo Sarabia, set to depart. Hwang said he was upset with how the season ended and did not rule out a summer departure by saying he needed to rest first before making plans for the future. The majority of supporters seem to agree that a transfer would be in both parties’ best interests.

WHAT NEXT?

With Man City finishing last season in third place, Wolves open the new Premier League campaign against the Citizens next week. If Hwang decides to depart, he would follow a long list of summer departures, giving Vitor Pereira more space to rebuild. After injuries and fewer chances at Wolves, a new beginning may help Hwang revive his career. As transfer discussions continue and fresh offers for the South Korean star arise in the upcoming days, they will be crucial.
