There will be more details to give you depending on the financial situation of the team, of Bordeaux. It is true that offers have arrived from FC Nantes and West Ham United as well.”

However, nothing came out of the West Ham offer. Nevertheless, West Ham later signed Gianluca Scamacca from Sassuolo. Whereas Hwang will now join Nottingham Forest this summer. The Premier League club will reportedly pay £3.4 million with a further £800,000 in add-ons. He is also going to have his medical in a few days.

Hwang is described as a striker who is unplayable on his day. The striker managed to score 11 goals in Ligue 1 last season. That is an exceptional return as Bordeaux were awful last season in attack. All in all, he is going to surprise a lot of people at Nottingham Forest.
