The last two Premier League champions are just a couple of the big clubs likely to be interested in the South Korea star, according to the Mirror.

He hit a debut goal in September’s 2-0 win at Watford, a brace in the 2-1 victory over Newcastle in October, and the opener in last month’s 1-1 with Leeds.
In addition to his goals, has looked lively off the bench and been praised for neat tricks and excellent decision-making in the final third.
And he bagged a penalty for his country in a 1-0 win over United Arab Emirates in a World Cup qualifier on Thursday.
Now Wolves are trying to make his loan move permanent ‘amid interest from Liverpool and Manchester City‘, the Mirror says.
Their report reveals both clubs ‘have had him watched several times’ as they explore options to strengthen their attacking options.
