Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton), who was the team's best player last season, is now on the list for sale.

"Hwang Hee-chan is still a candidate for recruitment in 2025 from several clubs," said Fabrizio Romano, a transfer market expert, on the 12th (Korea Standard Time). Wolverhampton rejected an offer of 25 million euros for Hwang Hee-chan last summer.

"This season, Wolverhampton is in a complicated situation under Gary O'Neill. As a result, interest in Hwang Hee-chan remains active," he added.

"Moly New News," which delivers the news of Wolverhampton, detailed Hwang Hee-chan's current position in the team on the 12th. The media said, "Hwang Hee-chan was not available for transfer last summer. However, now Wolverhampton can send Hwang Hee-chan away to secure funds at a time when his condition is poor."
He added: "Wolverhampton is looking to reinforce a defender to replace Max Kilman, who left last summer. After he left, he was unable to replace him with a new centre-back."

"Defensive reinforcement is the only position Wolverhampton is aiming for," he said. "If we sell some players, it could be a different story."

Hwang Hee-chan has been particularly sluggish this season. This is not the first time that rumors of his transfer have been reported. In September, the British media The Athletic reported that Hwang scored 13 goals in all competitions last season. However, he has been excluded from the starting lineup, with Hwang falling to the bench in the past two Premier League matches.

"If we don't regain our seats until the winter transfer market opens, there will be new discussions in January," he predicted.

Hwang Hee-chan, a former Pohang Steelers youth team, joined Salzburg, Austria in January 2015 and played for Leipzig (Germany) through leases in Reffering (Austria) and Hamburg (Germany), and has been active in Wolverhampton since June 2021.

Through his outstanding performance last season, he rose to the ranks of strikers that Europe is paying attention to. He scored 12 goals in the Premier League alone, and succeeded in scoring the most points in a big league season, including when he was in the German Bundesliga. The fact that Wolverhampton's power is not powerful adds even more favorable reviews to Hwang Hee-chan's decision.

Wolverhampton prepared for the departure by renewing his contract until 2028 to keep Hwang Hee-chan, who had shown his best performance. However, contrary to the club's expectations, Hwang Hee-chan's presence faded.

He has yet to start. He has no offensive points in a total of 11 matches this season, but he has only started two of his nine matches in the Premier League.

There are considerable voices of criticism in the region. The British media "Moly New News" criticized Hwang Hee-chan's recent performance, calling him "terrible." The media pointed out that Hwang Hee-chan had a hard time against Brighton. He was O'Neill's favorite player, but he got off to a bad start to the new season.

He also sent a warning message. "If Hwang Hee-chan shows such performance, he cannot start. He is one of the worst players this season," the media said. "What is less threatening than the previous season could be a position problem. Hwang mostly moved inside the penalty box due to the lack of authentic strikers. The situation has changed now that Jorgen Strand Larsen is in the center of the second line," the media said.

Hwang Hee-chan played in the 2023-24 season after switching from a winger position to a front-line striker. Although he has not been in 100% condition due to minor injuries, he has achieved a career high in his third season of the Premier League. With 12 goals and 3 assists in 29 games, he scored his first double-digit attack point in the Premier League, proving his competitiveness on the world's best stage.

Thanks to this performance, Marseille's interest continued. French media "Foot Mercato" said, "With Wolverhampton negotiating with Marseille over the transfer of Hwang Hee-chan, Hwang Hee-chan conveyed his desire to join Marseille." 메이저사이트

French media L'Equipe also said, "Hwang Hee-chan was included in the list of strikers established by the management of the Marseille club and verified by coach Roberto de Gerby. The club and the head coach unanimously agreed to recruit Hwang Hee-chan."

The media said, "Marceu offered a transfer fee of 20 million euros, but Wolverhampton wants more money. The two clubs are continuing to consult," and explained, "As Hwang Hee-chan, who was signed until June 2028, has conveyed his intention to join the management of Wolverhampton, there is a possibility of a transfer to Marseille."

However, after a long discussion, Wolverhampton succeeded in keeping Hwang Hee-chan. It was Hwang Hee-chan's turn to repay the club's faith. However, his position in the team has decreased due to his performance that has fallen from last season. If Hwang Hee-chan fails to rebound, the possibility of a transfer is expected to increase.
