He currently plays for RB Leipzig in Germany and helped them to a second-place finish last season having joined from fellow Red Bull club FC Salzburg that summer.<\/p>\n<p>Hwang was said to be a target for Wolves before when Nuno Espirito Santo was in charge, but this time around, Leipzig are willing to let their frontman leave.<\/p>\n<p>Wolves could be in need of forward reinforcements if Adama Traore was allowed to leave the club.
