Liverpool and Tottenham could be involved in the race for in-form Wolves talent Hwang Hee-chan. According to the English media, the two Premier League clubs are considering a move in the summer, while a transfer in the January market is unlikely to happen. The leaders of Liverpool and Tottenham have been surprised by Hee-chan's performances this season, especially when the latter was placed in the role of center forward.
The Korean will break away from Wolves to play with his national team in the Asian Cup. Hee-chan has caught the eye for his flexibility on the field, as the striker can be activated both on the left wing and in the center. The player has scored 11 goals and provided 3 assists this season for his team in the Premier League.
Hwang Hee-chan first landed at Wolves on loan from RB Leipzig in 2021. Just 1 year later, the Korean signed a permanent contract with the English club. Both Liverpool and Tottenham are looking for reinforcements in attack and are planning for the new season.
Jurgen Klopp's men are currently leading the Premier League standings, after a spectacular 4-2 win over Newcastle. "The Reds" will be without Mohammed Salah during the month of January, as the latter will be active with the Egyptian national team in Afcon.
Tottenham, on the other hand, is in fifth place in the Premier League standings, after 20 games. Australian coach Ange Postecoglou has brought a new spirit to the Spurs, and the level of quality has risen significantly in their play. However, the need for a striker who offers consistency has always been evident at the London club, since the departure of Harry Kane to Bayern Munich. This is the main reason for the interest in Hee-chan.
