There has been an exodus at Wolves over the last few weeks, and seemingly more players could leave Molineux.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wolves<\/a> set about offloading players almost immediately, with Matheus Cunha joining Manchester United<\/a>, Rayan Ait-Nouri going to Manchester City, and Pablo Sarabia and Craig Dawson leaving at the end of their contracts.<\/p>\n

Nelson Semedo is a free agent right now and is not expected to sign a new deal.<\/p>\n

We have also had a couple of loan exits, with Nasser Djiga going to Rangers and Tommy Doyle sealing a move to Birmingham City<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And there has now been a suggestion that another player on the books at Wolves could actually follow Doyle to St Andrew\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Hwang Hee-chan could join Birmingham after tough season for Wolves\"HwangPhoto by Alex Dodd \u2013 CameraSport via Getty Images<\/p>\n

Hwang Hee-chan<\/a> had a very forgettable 2024\/25 season.<\/p>\n

The South Korea international often lacked impact for Wanderers, and still couldn\u2019t find his mojo when Vitor Pereira<\/a> came in.<\/p>\n

It was a real shame, because Hwang had been one of Wolves\u2019 best players in 2023\/24 \u2013 and during that season, he signed a new contract at Molineux<\/a> which saw him become one of Wolves\u2019 highest earners<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But now, he could be on the move.<\/p>\n

According to veteran South Korean journalist Han June, writing in Football Asian, Hwang is now an ambitious target for Birmingham City.<\/p>\n

The Championship side are expected to pursue one of two South Korean internationals, with Jeonbuk Hyundai winger Song Min-kyu being the other.<\/p>\n

Of the two, Hwang is the preferred option due to \u2018his top-level experience and physical attributes suited to English football\u2019.<\/p>\n

Hwang is apparently open to the move, according to another well-connected South Korean journalist Joel Kim<\/a>, who wrote on X: \u201cI\u2019ve personally been sitting on this for a while now. Past few weeks through multiple ITKs on both the #BCFC and #WWFC sides, I\u2019ve heard rumblings that Birmingham have pursued Hwang for a loan-buy deal. <\/p>\n

\u201cWolves want a straight transfer. I understand Hwang is keen on joining Blues, especially due to the reasons I\u2019ve mentioned in my thread, which was inspired by these reports.\u201d<\/p>\n

These are some bold claims, and it will be fascinating to see if Birmingham do actually push for Wolves\u2019 #11.<\/p>\n

There is definitely a possibility for Hwang to leave this summer, given the struggles he had in 2024\/25, the length of time he\u2019s already been at Wolves and the fact he\u2019s turning 30 next January.<\/p>\n

And certainly, if Wolves sign Jhon Arias that could increase Hwang\u2019s exit prospects<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But few will have seen links to Birmingham coming, given they have just got back into the Championship from League One.<\/p>\n

But clearly, they are looking to make a big go of it next season, and their recent loan signing of Doyle was definitely a statement.<\/p>\n\nHwang Hee-chan for Wolves (2021-present)<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nAppearances \u2013 119<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nGoals \u2013 24<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nAssists \u2013 8<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Backed by wealthy American owners, Birmingham could well throw a decent offer Wolves\u2019 way for Hwang.<\/p>\n

Wolves, of course, knocked back a \u00a321 million bid from Marseille for Hwang<\/a> last summer, and may be hoping for similar offers this time around, although that feels unlikely.<\/p>\n

But given Hwang\u2019s status as a big earner at Wolves, it might be a tricky deal for them to do. Unless they got him on loan and split the wage payments with Wolves.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
