Journalist now claims £36m Wolves target is “twice the player” Hwang Hee-chan is

Wolverhampton Wanderers target Hirving Lozano is ‘twice the player’ that forward Hwang Hee-chan is, according to journalist Josh Holland.

The Midlands outfit have been credited with an interest in the 26-year-old, who has struggled to find his best form for SSC Napoli following his £36 million switch from PSV Eindhoven.

Lozano was one of the most sought-after attacking talents in the summer of 2019 due to his impressive exploits for the Dutch giants.

In just 79 appearances across all competitions for PSV, the versatile attacker registered 40 goals and 23 assists, claiming an Eredivisie title along the way.

However, Lozano has been unable to replicate that sort of productivity in front of goal during his near three-year stay at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

Despite playing his part in an Italian Cup triumph during his maiden campaign with Napoli, the Mexico international has scored just 26 goals and provided only 13 assists in 113 outings for the Azzurri.

And according to Napoli Today, Lozano’s future with the Serie A giants is far from guaranteed, and he continues to be tracked by long-term admirers Wolves.

Holland believes that the Midlands outfit ‘need another winger’ in the summer and that Lozano would be an upgrade on their current options.  

In an exclusive interview, he told GiveMeSport: “Lozano, he’s been destined for a Premier League move since he burst onto the scene.

“And so, whether he’d come now is unknown, but they need another winger, especially because again, does it look like Trincao is going to come back? I don’t think so.

“I don’t necessarily think Hwang has been a brilliant signing.
