Fulham have joined Wolves by expressing interest in Bordeaux striker Hwang Ui-Jo.
Wolves have offered £2m so far but Bordeaux want £4m for the South Korea international.
Hwang has been the French club’s top scorer in each of the last two seasons and has picked up 29 goals in 97 games since signing in 2019.

He couldn’t keep Bordeaux in Ligue last season though, as the club was relegated to France’s second tier for the first since since 1991 amid financial issues.
