Wolves have been home to many top attacking stars in their history.
Wolves have had relative success when compared to other Premier League clubs, but they have also won every domestic cup competition and Premier League. However, their last win came in the league back in 1958–59, since then the club has struggled to win the league. But over the decades they have produced many talented stars who have gone on to etch their names in the club’s history.
With this, we take a look at the players with the most Premier League goals scored for Wolves in the competition’s history.
5. Hwang Hee-chan (21)
With 22 goals in 107 Premier League games, Hwang is currently the fifth-highest scorer in Wolves’ history in the league. He became part of Wolverhampton Wanderers on a season-long loan, but, thanks to his achievement, the team decided to extend his loan agreement. On July 1, 2022, the loan’s expiration date, the club stated that they had activated an agreement that would allow him to join the team permanently, signing a contract until 2026 and since then he has continued to be a crucial part of games.
4. Ruben Neves (21)
At the age of 17, Neves earned his first-team debut after beginning his career with Porto and his exploits for them saw him earn a move to Wolves. They reportedly paid £15.8 million to join Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2017. He won the EFL Championship in his debut season, made 253 appearances, and scored 21 goals for them in the Premier League, after becoming their most established player he made a switch to a Saudi club and signed a reported £47 million contract with Al-Hilal in 2023.

In Premier League history, he also happens to be their second-highest goal scorer.
