Player to watch: Hwang Hee-Chan
A couple of years ago, the signing of Hwang Hee-Chan looked like a great bit of business by Wolves. Fast forward to 2025, and he looks a shadow of his former self and void of all confidence. If he can grab himself a goal, then we could see the return of the player who so often delivered the goods for Wolves in and out of possession.
