£25m striker keen on joining Jesse Marsch at Leeds United before deadline - Caught Offside 25/8/22

Leeds United have not quite gone full Nottingham Forest this
transfer window, but they have been one of the larger shakers and movers. It
seems they have one last big move in them too.
According to SkySports, via MOTLeeds, Leeds are keen on
bringing Wolves striker Hwang Hee-Chan to the club. The 26-year-old moved to
Wolves last summer on loan and cost them £15m to make that deal permanent. One
of the key stumbling blocks is likely to be his price tag.
It is said that Wolves want a further £10m, taking the price
to £25m, on top of what they paid earlier this summer. However the South Korean
international is seemingly keen to make the move, which might increase the
chances of a deal being struck.
In particular, Jesse Marsch is one of the attractions.
Hee-Chan and Marsch worked together twice at RB Leipzig and RB Salzburg
previously and the pair want to reunite again. Although Hee-Chan scored just
five times last season, it is clear from the amount of minutes he is given and
his goal record that his impact goes far beyond just putting the ball in the
net.
