Hwang Hee-chan(23), a member of RB Salzburg has performed an impressive play in the UEFA Champions League this season. Takumi Minamino, Erling Braut Haaland, and Hwang Hee-chan altogether impressed Europe.
Eventually, these three strikers got a huge attention from big clubs. Minamino moved to Liverpool FC, Holland to Borussia Dortmund, so Hwang is the only one left.
According to the United Kingdom media <Telegraph> last December, Hwang is strongly linked with Wolverhampton Wanderers. His transfer depends on whether Wolverhampton can suggest a desirable amount of money to Salzburg, because they want to keep Hwang Hee-chan for the rest of the season.
The situation now seems like the league's prestige club, Olympique Lyonnais, is also interested in the recruitment of Hwang Hee-chan. The Spain press <L'Equipe> announced that “Lyonnais is keeping an eye on Hwang Hee-chan. They will weigh Hwang against Karl Brillant Toko Ekambi(Villarreal CF).”
Lyonnais needs to fill up its front line as Memphis Depay, one of the best asset, is out for the season after rupturing the anterior cruciate ligament. On top of that, another striker Moussa Dembélé, is receiving attention from big clubs, so it should be reinforced for sure.
