Hide AdLeeds United could look to reignire their interest in Wolves forward Hwang Hee-chan after missing out on him and Bamba Dieng in the late stages of the transfer window, according to reporter Dean Jones. He said: “Fulham moved on from Dieng and that gave Leeds a pretty free run at him. He was the ideal player to fit the project as he still had plenty of scope to be moulded into what Marsch was looking for in a forward. Hwang proved too tough but it is one they might come back to along with Gakpo.” (GIVEMESPORT)
