Wolves transfer interest in signing South Korea starlet - wants Barcelona move

Wolves are reportedly interested in South Korea under-20’s winger Yun Do-Young.

Respected journalist Joel Kim is reporting that Wolves have ‘taken an interest’ in the youngster. He is 17-years-old, and earlier this year, he came up against Spurs superstar Son Heung-min in a pre-season friendly.

In an interview in August, the player reportedly said in an interview that he wanted to one day play for La Liga giants Barcelona. He admitted that his favourite player is eight-time Ballon d'Or Lionel Messi.

Do-Young plays his club football in his home country for Daejeon Hana Citizen, and has graduated from their first-team. He signed a contract extension with the club in August, after making his debut in May.

He's made 15 appearances to date for the first-team with two assists and a goal. Young has recently been on international duty with South Korea, playing against Uzbekistan, Vietnam, and China.

The tricky winger has already had the experience of playing against England, having played in a friendly against the Three Lions in Marbella last October. Do-young got to play 83 minutes against them, whilst they were also competitive against Belgium.

Interest in Do-Young could see Wolves add to their South Korean contingent. Hwang Hee-chan is already in their ranks, and he is considered one of the leading footballers from South Korea. Hee-chan has been capped 66 times for his country, and scored 14 goals.

There is also Min-kyu Ji who plays for the under-18s team. Ji joined the club in 2023, and is a left-sided winger. He scored in the 3-2 win against Middlesbrough at the end of August, with Wolves currently fourth in the northern section of the Under-18 Premier League.
