News that France's prestigious Olympique de Marseille is moving to recruit Hwang Hee-chan, a Korean national striker, appeared in surprise.

France's L'Equipe said on the 4th (Korea time) 'Korean national striker Hwang Hee-chan is on the list of strikers recognized by Marseille's management and verified by coach Roberto de Gervi. He is a player who has been unanimously agreed to recruit. Hwang Hee-chan, who scored 12 goals in the English Premier League (EPL) last season at Wolverhampton, said that Marseille is one of the players who can solve the dynamic problem in attack. L'Equipe is one of the leading French newspapers.

L'Equipe is also highly regarded by the management of the Marseille club, as is Manchester United's Mason Greenwood. Marseille Chairman Pablo Longoria has already approached Hwang Hee-chan in 2020. Director De Gerby also likes Hwang Hee-chan's intense style. We have verified him through a face-off at Brighton,' he said, explaining that both the club and the manager highly value Hwang Hee-chan.

Hwang Hee-chan, one of the key players for the South Korean national team, once again spread his wings vigorously in the 2023-2024 season.After completely moving to Wolverhampton, Hwang Hee-chan's performance was somewhat disappointing. Hwang Hee-chan, who was rumored to be released after not playing much due to minor injuries that continued in the 2022-2023 season, reversed his position in one season.

Wolverhampton's outlook for the 2023-2024 season was bleak. Hoobeng Neves, João Moutinho, Matheus Nunes and Raul Jimenez have been cleared up to reduce their size. The club's finances were seriously broken, forcing key players to be released. Of course, there was no such recruitment, and even coach Julen Lopetegui decided to leave the team before the start of the season.

Coach Gary O'Neill, who came three days before the start of the season, was not even a coach with extensive leadership experience. Hwang Hee-chan appeared in front of depressed Wolverhampton fans. At first, O'Neill did not select Hwang Hee-chan as the main player, but he gave him a chance little by little as a replacement.

Coach O'Neill's thoughts also changed when Hwang Hee-chan scored a goal one after another despite being a substitute. When Hwang Hee-chan showed his role even during his short playing time, he began to use him as the main player. Hwang Hee-chan, who scored three league goals in five rounds, flew properly from the match against Manchester City in the sixth round.

Pep Guardiola began to be recognized as Wolverhampton's ace when he scored to sink Manchester City after making headlines by calling Hwang Hee-chan the `Korean Guy.' Hwang Hee-chan has maintained his best performance since his transfer to Wolverhampton as he has accumulated attack points in five consecutive games since the match against Manchester City.

Hwang Hee-chan, who has already been on the rise as he recorded a career high in the English Premier League (EPL), went on without stopping. With O'Neill's full trust, Hwang Hee-chan scored 10 goals and three assists in 20 rounds.

Wolverhampton judged Hwang Hee-chan to be the future of the team and immediately renewed the contract. O'Neill and the club highly appreciated Hwang Hee-chan's ability and handed him the contract from 2027 to 2028 season. At the time, O'Neill turned to Hwang Hee-chan and said, `I didn't do anything to Hwang Hee-chan. It's just the result of hard work. You deserve credit for your hard work. Hwang Hee-chan is committed to his work and works hard. He is a player who knows how important effort is and how much development is needed. Hwang Hee-chan is getting healthier"I didn't even give Hwang Hee-chan a compliment.

Wolverhampton even promised the best treatment in the team. Reporter Fabrizio Romano, known as an expert in the European transfer market, dealt with Hwang Hee-chan's renewal at the time, saying, "Wolverhampton has already agreed to renew his contract with Hwang Hee-chan. The new contract is due in June 2028. A further extension clause is included"Hwang Hee-chan will be treated the same as the club's highest-paid players with the new contract. It's a big move for Wolverhampton with their best player," he added. Hwang Hee-chan, who is currently receiving about 1.56 million pounds (about 2.6 billion won), is expected to have at least doubled his weekly salary. Hwang Hee-chan also signed the contract in a good mood.

Director O'Neill also said, "He is "Hwang Hee-chan is also a great man. He came to me and the coaching staff and thanked them for their hard work with him so that he could sign a new contract. This action speaks volumes about who Hwang Hee-chan is and how important he is in the team. When someone puts in as much effort as they do, it's great that a player is rewarded with goals, assists, and new contracts," he said, praising Hwang Hee-chan's human side as well.

However, in the second half of the year, he was somewhat disappointed. Hwang Hee-chan looked a bit exhausted after the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup. The flow was cut off as he was injured. Still, Hwang Hee-chan added two goals at the end, having his best season since entering the EPL with 12 league goals.

It seems natural that Marseille wants Hwang Hee-chan, but it has been reported that the negotiations between Wolverhampton and Marseille and Marseille and Hwang Hee-chan have not entered a specific stage yet.

L'Equipe said 'Marceu, who is still looking for room for salary adjustments and liquidity, has yet to start negotiations between clubs. It won't be easy to bring Hwang Hee-chan, who is under contract with Wolverhampton until June 2028, from the EPL offering a specific priceHe predicted that it would not be easy for Marseille to recruit Hwang Hee-chan.

Hwang Hee-chan is highly difficult to recruit, but Marseille is not going to give up. The media said 'Like Greenwood's signing, the Marseille leadership is looking for a more favorable opportunity to recruit this type of profile that the club does not currently have in the transfer window this summer. Marseille is ready to jump into recruitment of Hwang Hee-chan, he said.

Marseille is a prestigious French team, but his pride is hurt as he finished eighth in the league last season. As the will to revive is strong enough to bring in coach De Zerby, the team is expected to be ready for the next season by reinforcing the team anew.

If Hwang Hee-chan goes to Marseille, he is expected to take the main position immediately. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, once a world-class striker, is the only player who is playing well in Marseille now. Aubameyang showed outstanding performance as he entered his second heyday, but none of the players performed normally except Aubameyang. If Hwang Hee-chan wears a Marseille uniform, he is likely to be a partner to breathe with Aubameyang.

Of course, this is the story when Wolverhampton decided to sell Hwang Hee-chan. Although Wolverhampton is said to have completed reinforcement of the striker, it is questionable whether he will sell Hwang Hee-chan at a time when Pedro Netu is likely to go out. Since the financial situation is not the worst as it was a year ago, the sale of players is not unconditionally necessary.

From Hwang Hee-chan's point of view, if Marseille goes to the European match, it could be a more attractive option, but next season, Marseille is only focusing on the league and cannot be guaranteed to advance to the European match.
