Korean footballer Hwang Hee-chan is set to join German team Schalke 04 on loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers, according to a statement released by Schalke on Tuesday local time. The Bundesliga club announced the signing, which will see Hwang with Schalke until June 30, 2026. Per reports from German media, Schalke have the option of making the loan a permanent deal with a transfer fee of 3 million euros ($3.5 million).
Hwang, 30, has previously played in Germany from 2018 to 2022, initially with Hamburger SV and then with RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga. His time at Wolves saw him reach a career-high 12 goals in 29 matches during the 2023-2024 season. However, Wolves' form dipped dramatically in the following two seasons, ultimately resulting in their relegation to the EFL Championship after finishing last among the 20 Premier League clubs with just 20 points.
Schalke, on the other hand, had been relegated from the Bundesliga to the second-tier 2. Bundesliga before this loan deal.
