Korean forward Hee-chan Hwang moved from RB Leipzig to Wolverhampton Wanderers in July 2022. Last season, the forward failed to put up any numbers, scoring 4 goals and 3 assists in 32 games, but this season he has been performing like a man of the match.
After 20 games in the Premier League, he has scored 10 goals and is the ace of the team. He has been playing as a center forward more and more, and has been aiming for the goal from a position closer to the goal, and his defending from the front using his abundant athleticism is also highly appreciated.
According to Football Insider, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur have expressed interest in 27-year-old South Korean international Hee-chan Hwang, and a battle could develop between Premier League clubs.
The forward, who can play as a left winger or a right winger, has become a key player for manager Gary O’Neill’s side and is as physical as any English center back and has the speed to get out the back.
As he will turn 28 this year, he cannot be an investment for the future. With mid-20s forwards such as Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez, and Cody Gakpo, there does not seem to be much need for a Korean national team forward.
Will they continue their good form in the second half of the season and step up to a top-tier club next season…?
