Wolves forward Hwang Hee-chan has seen his form at Molineux blighted by injuries, seeing a dramatic fall from grace.
Hwang Hee-chan plundered 12 Premier League goals for Wolves in 2023/24, tied with Matheus Cunha in the standings while showing his electric talent.
The South Korean sharpshooter has been unable to replicate such form under Vitor Pereira, with injures halting his momentum.
As such, the forward could leave Molineux in 2025 amid interest from several clubs but in the meantime, Molineux News has everything you need to know about Hwang, including his career to date and earnings.
