Wolves are close to completing a deal to sign RB Leipzig's Hwang Hee-chan and the forward has arrived in the West Midlands for his medical.

The season-long deal will include an option to buy in the region of £13m next summer.
Hee-chan is expected to be present in the stands at Molineux for Wolves' game with Manchester United on Sunday, live on Sky Sports.
