SunSport understand that the striker has agreed personal terms with the French giants and is keen on a move to the Velodrome.

Talks are ongoing between Wolves and Marseille in a bid to iron out a deal for the South Korea international.

The Premier League side are demanding £30m to let Hwang go this summer and Marseille have yet to meet those requirements.

The centre-forward has a contract with Wolves until 2028.

Hwang enjoyed an impressive campaign with Gary O’Neil’s side this past term.

The South Korean amassed a total of 13 goals and three assists in 31 appearances.

SunSport have also learned that Marseille could shelve their bid for Manchester United‘s Mason Greenwood because talks are taking too long.

Greenwood is taking too long to decide and Roberto De Zerbi’s side have set their sights elsewhere.

Therefore, Marseille are now looking to sign Brighton ace Simon Adingra.

Adingra played under De Zerbi at the Amex Stadium last season.

The Italian tactician rates the winger highly and is keen on a reunion at the Velodrome this summer.

SunSport also understand that Marseille have held talks with the Ivory Coast international’s camp.
