A player who can threaten Hwang Hee-chan's competition to become a starting player in the next season has appeared.
Spain's Pichahes shed light on Felix's situation on the 24th (Korea time), saying, `The club that wants Joao Felix to be recruited.'
Pichahes says Wolverhampton and West Ham have entered the race to sign Felix. It is expected to compete for recruitment in the upcoming summer transfer market. The two clubs view the recruitment as an opportunity and regard Felix as an immediate solution to reinforce the offense. After an inconsistent season, Wolverhampton believes Felix's recruitment can energize the offense.'

Felix, who was considered the best prospect in Portugal for his beautiful appearance and excellent soccer skills, was highly expected to be compared to Cristiano Ronaldo during his Benfica days. As the potential exploded with 20 goals and 8 assists in 42 games in the 2018-2019 season in Benfica, Atletico Madrid invested 126 million euros (about 200 billion won) to embrace Felix.
But Felix's growth did not go as expected. In the three seasons since joining Atletico, Felix has rarely adapted and has not become the center of the team. In addition to his skills, problems continued, such as publicly demanding a transfer to Barcelona. Felix then left for Chelsea for a transfer fee of 44.5 million pounds (about 80 billion won), ending his Atletico career.
The same was true at Chelsea. Felix, who lost his seat, tried to rebound again by wearing an AC Milan uniform in the previous winter transfer market. Expectations were high immediately after joining Milan, and coach Sergio Concei-sang also actively used Felix. The problem was performance. He scored his debut goal against Roma in his Milan debut, but he remained silent after failing to score a single attacking point in his 14 matches. Italian football expert Fabio Labecchani even strongly criticized that "Milan is all wrong, Felix is handsome, but useless".

Despite Felix's recent slump, Wolverhampton seems to have started recruiting with high expectations. Wolverhampton is likely to transfer Matheus Cunha next season, so recruiting the offense is essential. He paid attention to Felix, who can play a similar role in place of Cunha, who played in all areas of the second term. If Felix can rebound from Wolverhampton, it is also attractive that a small amount of money can expect big growth.
If Felix joins Wolverhampton, Hwang Hee-chan is likely to be directly affected by the main competition. Felix can also play in a position similar to Hwang Hee-chan's. Hwang Hee-chan has been suffering from severe sluggishness and injuries this season, and has recently left due to injuries. If Felix joins the team after being pushed back from the competition, the competition for the starting lineup in the next season could also be a red flag. Along with Wolverhampton's plan to reinforce the offense, Hwang Hee-chan's position in the next season is also expected to receive great attention.
