Wolves complete loan deals for up-and-coming young duo | OneFootball

On Tuesday, Wolverhampton Wanderers allowed a pair of youngsters to go out on loan overseas.

Teenage midfielder Hong Wan and U-23 captain Ed Francis were able to leave the club despite the English transfer window being shut, as some leagues are still active in the market.

Francis will join Wolves team-mate Boubacar Hanne at Swiss second-division side Grasshoppers, while Hong Wan has left to join Croatian first-division outfit NK Varaždin.

Hong joined Wolves from Yeovil Town over the summer and will have the opportunity to play first-team football for the first time in his professional career.

Francis, who joined from Manchester City last January, has featured for Dutch second-division side Almere City in the past. The centre-back will hope to impress as his Wolves contract is up next summer.
