10 goals and 3 assists, 2 big giants pay attention to the South Korean striker, the Chinese boss does not sell: the contract has been renewed for 4 years
South Korean striker Hwang Hee-chan, who is about to turn 28, has performed well in the Premier League in the 2023-24 season, contributing 10 goals and three assists in 20 games. Huang Xican ushered in a big explosion and also gained the attention of Haoqiang. Football Insider, a British football website, got news that Liverpool and Tottenham are two big powerhouses and hope to bring in Huang Xican this summer.
Hwang Hee-chan can play as a center forward as well as a winger. In the 2023-24 Premier League season, Huang Xican has many wonderful works:
In Wolves' 2-1 win over Manchester City, Hwang Hee-chan scored one goal and also slapped Pep Guardiola in the face (Guardiola did not remember Hwang Hee-chan's name before the game and replaced it with 'Korean boy').
In the Premier League battles with Liverpool, Villa, and Newcastle, Hwang Hee-chan all scored goals. Wolves beat Brentford 4-1 with Hwang Hee-chan scoring twice. In Gary O'Neal's Wolves, Hwang Hee-chan can be mid-range, impactful, powerful and driven, and play top performance.
Insiders told Football Insider that Liverpool and Tottenham are eyeing Hwang Hee-chan. However, it is unlikely that the two clubs will make a move in January and this summer window would be a better time. The value of De transferred to Huang Xican is valued at 22 million euros, and this kind of poaching within the Premier League will inevitably have a premium.
In the summer of 2021, Hwang Hee-chan joined Wolves on loan from Leipzig, and in January 2022, Wolves bought Hwang Hee-chan for 16.7 million euros.
Hwang Hee-chan, who has performed well in the Premier League this season, also received a contract extension from the club. In December last year, Hwang Hee-chan signed a four-year contract extension with Wolves until 2028, which sent a clear signal that Wolves do not intend to sell their main striker. As a Chinese-funded club, Wolves focus on "cost performance", and a striker like Huang Xican had a weekly salary of only 30,000 pounds before the contract was renewed, and he earned a big contract with his performance, and his weekly salary would not exceed 90,000 pounds.
Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur both have strikers in demand. This summer, Salah may be poached by Saudi tycoons, Nunez's scoring ability is mediocre, Klopp needs to introduce a striker who is active in counter-attacking and has the ability to score; Tottenham needs a center forward, Richarlison has only scored 7 goals in 44 Premier League games since he came to Tottenham, and the shooting target is not flattering.
