Leeds United are considering an 11th-hour move for Wolves forward Hwang Hee-chan as the summer transfer window nears its close. The club currently seeks to bolster its attacking options amid several squad departures. Joel Piroe has moved to West Ham on loan, Joe Gelhardt joined Hull City on a permanent basis, and Willy Gnonto is pending clearance for a transfer to Fiorentina. While Leeds has already added James Trafford, Tarik Muharemovic, Nico Elvedi, Harry Wilson, and Michael Zefferer this window, manager Daniel Farke remains focused on improving forward depth. Representatives for Hwang have approached multiple teams, and Wolves have cleared the 30-year-old to leave. Leeds must now decide whether to pursue the South Korea international as a late solution to balance the current squad requirements.
