FC Schalke 04 have added another attacker just before the transfer window closed, bringing in South Korea international Hee-chan Hwang on a one-season loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The 30-year-old was part of South Korea’s squad at the World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada. He has also previously played in Germany for Hamburger SV and RB Leipzig.
“With Hee-chan Hwang, we are increasing our options in attack. He can play several positions, and we see his long experience in different leagues and as an international as a major advantage,” Schalke director of professional football Youri Mulder said.
Hwang joins Bosnian striker Edin Dzeko as another World Cup player in the promoted club’s attack.
