The possibility of a transfer to the English Premier League promotion team, Nottingham Forest, has been raised.
French sports media Requip reported on the 13th that “Nottingham offered a transfer fee of 4 million euros (regarding 5.35 billion won) to Bordeaux, which Hwang Ui-jo belongs to, and Bordeaux accepted it.”
Nottingham Forest News, which covers Nottingham club news, said, “Hwang Ui-jo will soon be moving to England for a medical test.”
Hwang Ui-jo, who plays for Bordeaux, a French professional football club, has one year left on his contract and is highly likely to transfer to another team as Bordeaux is relegated to the second division this season.
In addition to Nottingham, there have been reports that Wolverhampton in England and Nantes and Brest in French Ligue 1 have started to sign Ui-Jo Hwang.
However, it is known that Hwang Ui-Jo wants to move to the English Premier League, and there are local reports that Fulham also jumped into the match for Hwang Ui-Jo.
Hwang Ui-jo, who moved to Bordeaux in 2019, scored 12 goals in French Ligue 1 in the 2020-2021 season, and scored 11 goals last season as well.
Nottingham, who signed Hwang Ui-jo, are promoted to the Premier League for the 2022-2023 season.
Nottingham moved up to the Premier League for the first time in 24 years since the 1998-1999 season, and lost 0-2 to Newcastle in the first round of the season.
