There is a prospect that Hwang Hee-chan can leave Wolverhampton.

Britain's Molineux reported on the 11th (Korea time) 'Hwang Hee-chan will regret not moving in the summer after Gary O'Neill's neglect.

Molineux said 'O'Neal's replacement is not a matter of when, but a matter of possibility. Wolverhampton are looking to replace O'Neill, but they know it's important to have a wise managerial appointment. However, O'Neill is not the only uncertain future. Wolverhampton's decline reflects Hwang Hee-chan's sharp decline in form. Hwang Hee-chan was the team's strongest striker last season, and showed a deadly partnership with Matheus Cunha. However, a year later, he has failed to score an offensive point in 11 games, showing his worst performance.




Hwang Hee-chan is going through a difficult time this season. Compared to last season, the gap is even more pronounced. Hwang Hee-chan scored 12 goals and three assists in 29 league games last season, ranking first in the team in scoring. After the Asian Cup, the scoring pace in the second half fell and did not score more points, but it was clear that it was the core of the team's attack until the end of the season.

The atmosphere has changed this season. Hwang Hee-chan, who initially rejected the courtship of coach Marseille and Robert Dezerbi in the summer transfer market and chose to stay, immediately moved to the bench with two poor games at the beginning of the season. He also created a scoring opportunity with a sharp cross during the match against Arsenal, but this did not lead to an attacking point and the slump began. From the League Cup match against Burnley, which continued with little performance against Chelsea, manager Gary O'Neill made up the starting list excluding Hwang Hee-chan.

Hwang Hee-chan has rarely been on the rise since he was excluded from the starting lineup. Since then, he has been given several opportunities, but injuries in the national team and poor performance have hampered him. In the British media 'Uncontroversial, Hwang Hee-chan is one of Wolverhampton's worst players this season. There was even an evaluation that 'I didn't see the same threat as last season at all.




Ahead of the winter transfer market, the possibility of Hwang Hee-chan's transfer once again emerged. This time, it was predicted that Wolverhampton could come forward directly to sell Hwang Hee-chan, not interested.

Molineux said 'Hwang Hee-chan has been reduced to an unused bench player. Now his future at Wolverhampton has been questioned. Marseille's €21m offer for Hwang Hee-chan was rejected last summer. Hwang Hee-chan will regret not transferring when he had the chance. Unlike 19th-ranked Wolverhampton, Marseille is competing for the championship with Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1. Wolverhampton will receive inquiries about Hwang Hee-chan, according to the news, and he may leave the team in January.

As for Hwang Hee-chan, his position on the team has completely changed in six months, so he has no choice but to worry. Until last summer, Hwang Hee-chan was such a player that world-class coach Robert Degerby himself courted.




Hwang Hee-chan responded to his refusal to court at the time by "A big decision was needed this summer. De Zerby called me every day. He has also spoken to Wolverhampton manager Gary O'Neill several times about the transfer. I trusted O'Neill. He said I was an important player, which gave me great faith. He also explained to O'Neill why he said, `I'll stay at Wolverhampton and do my best.' However, after the rejection, he had difficulty and decided to consider moving again.

Hwang Hee-chan's situation is hardly improving. Whether Hwang Hee-chan will be able to leap back to the starting lineup this season or whether he will eventually leave the team and take a new opportunity is expected to receive great attention throughout the winter transfer market.
