Hwang Hee-chan (29, Wolverhampton), who has lost his position in his team, has been included in the West Ham recruitment list.

On the 6th (Korea time), the British daily 『Telegraph" showed Hwang Hee-chan's name as a candidate for the striker that West Ham wants to recruit in the transfer market this winter.

The media introduced the background, saying, "'West Ham, who are having a hard time in the Premier League, are trying to reinforce their offense following the injuries of Michael Antonio and Jarrod Bowen'




West Ham are currently 14th in the 20th round with only 24 goals in 23 matches. It is seven points behind the relegation zone.

Brighton young striker Evan Ferguson is the "1st target", but if Ferguson is not available, he can turn to Hwang Hee-chan or Lateras (Middlesbrough).

West Ham have already inquired about Ferguson's loan, but Brighton are determined to decide Ferguson's future after checking Danny Welback's physical condition. Ferguson has scored only one goal in 14 games this season, and is also drawing attention from Arsenal and Fulham.




Hwang Hee-chan was offered a transfer fee of £21 million by French club Olain Peak Marseille last summer, but the transfer was canceled due to opposition from the club. Wolverhampton insisted that Hwang Hee-chan, who scored 12 goals in the Premier League in the 2023-2024 season, cannot be easily sent away.

Even Nicklas Fühlkruk, who was ambitiously recruited last summer, was sluggish, and West Ham, which does not have adequate offensive resources, is bound to be attracted to Hwang Hee-chan. Hwang Hee-chan also has plenty of experience to set up a 100-game EPL gold tower when he plays at home in the 21st round against Nottingham Forest on the 7th. Only four Korean players have played in more than 100 matches in the EPL, including Son Heung-min (320 matches), Ki Sung-yueng (187 matches), Park Ji-sung (154 matches) and Lee Chung-yong (105 matches). Hwang Hee-chan, who has scored 22 goals in 99 games, is currently running second in the Korean Premier League scoring rankings.

The possibility of a transfer is open. The position has changed this season. He played only 13 games in the aftermath of his hamstring injury in September's national team match. Coach Gary O'Neill, who was fired last month, formed an offensive team centered on tall Jorgen Strand Larsen and Matheus Cunha. Hwang Hee-chan focused on playing a backup striker. There is room for Wolverhampton to falter if he offers a huge transfer fee.




However, under Vitor Pereira, he recently scored consecutive goals in the match between Manchester United (2-0 wins) and Tottenham (2-2 draws) to start a rebound. Coach Pereira, who led Wolverhampton (17th) to escape the relegation zone, is likely to leave Hwang Hee-chan, an important offensive card, for his biggest goal of 'Stable Remain'. 'Ace' Cunha is also close to signing a long-term contract, shaking off many transfer rumors.

When Hwang Hee-chan moves to West Ham, all Korean Premier Leaguers will unite in London. Son Heung-min (Tottenham) and Kim Ji-soo (Brentford) are currently staying at the London-based team.
