The French club, now managed by former Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi, are admirers of Hwang and after initial interest have now made an opening offer of £21million.

However, Wolves swiftly rejected the offer and are adamant Hwang is not for sale.

The 28-year-old attacker scored 13 goals in 31 appearances in all competitions last season, registering his best return in a Wolves shirt.

Head coach Gary O'Neil is determined to keep hold of his best players and add strength in depth to his forward line, with Wolves standing firm that Hwang is not for sale.

Wolves have already made three signings this summer – four including the permanent signing of Tommy Doyle – and are not forced into player sales this summer.

The club have also been boosted by the £40million sale of Max Kilman, which further eases any financial pressure.
