Fulham have joined Wolves by expressing interest in Bordeaux striker Hwang Ui-Jo.

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.

Bringing in a cheap but proven goal-scorer could make a big difference in a tight-looking mid-table this season.
