  • Wolfsburg 'Interested' in Hwang Hee-chan, Who Tasted the New Season's EPL Beastly Goal


Local reports have reported that Wolfsburg (Germany) is interested in Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton), who was the first Korean striker to report a goal in the English Premier League (EPL) in the new season. 토토사이트

British sports media such as Sky Sports and Daily Mail said on the 21st (Korean time), "German Bundesliga Wolfsburg is looking at Hwang Hee-chan.

Hwang Hee-chan scored a goal for the 2023-2024 season in the 2nd round home game against

Brighton & Hove Albion on the 19th.

6 minutes after stepping on the ground, he headed a cross from the right side in a corner kick situation and shook the net.

While the scores of his national teammates, such as Son Heung-min (Tottenham), who plays as a regular starter, and Hwang Ui-jo (Nottingham Forest), who are looking for opportunities to play, have been quiet, they have become the protagonists of the news of the first Korean goal in the EPL of the new season.

Hwang Hee-chan did not have enough time to play as he was substituted in both matches following the match against  Manchester United in the first round, but he showed the most impressive appearance among Wolverhampton's attackers.

His unique straight-line breakthrough and acceleration were alive.

It is all the more encouraging because he has completely shaken off the injuries that plagued his ankle throughout last season.

If negotiations begin as reported and the transfer is completed, Hwang Hee-chan will return to the Bundesliga in two years.

Hwang Hee-chan moved to England in 2021 when he moved from Leipzig (Germany) to Wolverhampton on loan.

However, it is unclear whether the transfer will actually take place.

This is because Wolverhampton coach Gary O'Neill is struggling with the composition of the attacking team as Diego Costa and Adama Traore, who played an active part last season, left the team.

While using Matheus Kunya as a built-in main player, they are experimenting with various combinations, such as raising Sarabia, who usually played in the second line, to the forefront, but Wolverhampton showed poor scoring power and lost their opening two consecutive games.

Wolverhampton scored only one goal in two games, and only Hwang Hee-chan scored.

Wolfsburg is rated as a mid-tier team in the Bundesliga.

Finished 12th in the 2021-2022 season and 8th in the 2022-2023 season.

Veteran midfielder Koo Ja-cheol, a member of  K-League 1 Jeju United, joined the team from 2011 to 2014.
