Schalke 04 sign Hwang Hee-chan on loan until end of the season
FC Schalke 04 have added international experience to their front line with the addition of Hwang Hee-chan. The South Korean striker has joined the Royal Blues from Wolverhampton Wanderers on a loan deal until 30th June 2027. Hwang, who has 82 caps for his country (17 goals), played in all three of South Korea’s group games at this summer’s World Cup. In Germany, Hwang has already played for Hamburger SV and RB Leipzig. For Wolves, he registered 31 goal contributions (24 goals, 7 assists) in 131 Premier League appearances.
“In Hwang Hee-chan, we’ve bolstered our attacking options. He can play in multiple positions, and we see his many years of experience in a variety of leagues and on the international stage as a big plus. At the end of the transfer window, we set ourselves the target of looking for sensible additions to the current squad. We’re glad that Hee-chan has decided to join Schalke 04 and return to the Bundesliga,” said Youri Mulder, director of professional football at FC Schalke 04.

“Schalke 04 impressed me last season. I’ve been studying their style of play closely and think that I’d be a good fit for the team. In 2021, I played at the stadium for Leipzig, but unfortunately there were no fans allowed in. I can hardly wait to experience the atmosphere in front of a sold-out crowd as a Schalke player,” said Hwang Hee-chan.
