As Hwang Hee-chan (25), who plays in Leipzig in Germany’s Bundesliga, is likely to go to West Ham in the English Professional Football Premier League (EPL), a’Korean derby’ with Son Heung-min (29) is expected.
UK Sky Sports reported on the 28th (Korean time) that “West Ham is negotiating the recruitment of Hwang Hee-chan,” and “Director David Mois will make a final decision soon. Hwang Hee-chan Lee Jeok-seol recently began to spread as the German media reported that “West Ham Mois is looking to lease Hwang Hee-chan in January as a new striker resource to replace Sebastian Haller, who went to Ajax (the Netherlands).” West Ham are seeking resources for Mikhail Antonio’s backup striker, with striker Haller transferred to Ajax for £22m.
West Ham suffered from a soft landing in the German Bundesliga, with Hwang Hee-chan only scoring one goal in nine games this season, but they appreciated the possibility of making 16 goals-22 aids on the Austrian stage last season. Sky Sports’ analysis is that it is big.
