Wolverhampton announced the news of Hwang Hee-chan's renewal of his contract on the team's official website on the 22nd, saying, "Wolves' top scorer Hwang Hee-chan signed a new long-term contract with the club with a clause that includes a one-year extension option, until 2028. Hwang Hee-chan, the South Korean national team, joined Wolverhampton on loan in 2021 and is having his best season with Gary O'Neill's team, scoring nine goals before Christmas."
"After scoring his debut goal against Watford two years ago, Hwang Hee-chan quickly showed his ruthlessness in front of the goal. He also scored two fatal winning goals against Newcastle United in the 2-1 victory. Although he had a hard time last season due to injuries and rotation, his dedication never stopped and he made his brilliant 2023-24 season by scoring three goals in his last 10 games," Hwang mentioned.
Hwang Hee-chan left RB Leipzig in 2021 and joined Wolverhampton on a one-year loan that included a full transfer. In the 2021-22 season, which was his first season in England, Hwang Hee-chan successfully adapted to the game by scoring five goals and one assist in 30 matches in the English Premier League.
However, frequent injuries in the following season hampered Hwang Hee-chan. Hwang Hee-chan had high expectations for his successful first season, but he had a disappointing season with three goals and one assist in 27 games.
Hwang Hee-chan, who was desperate, exploded his skills this season. Having overcome frequent injury problems, Hwang started the game by scoring his first goal in the second round against Brighton, and later scored back-to-back goals in the matches against Crystal Palace and Liverpool.
Hwang Hee-chan, who scored again in Ipswich driving in the Cup, scored three consecutive goals in the match against Manchester City and Aston Villa. Since then, he has scored his first help in the match against Bournemouth and added a goal against Newcastle and a help against Sheffield United, making his best offensive point in six consecutive matches.
What's more surprising is his performance at home. This season, Hwang Hee-chan is displaying his scoring capacity at Molineux Stadium, the home of Wolverhampton. He has made history by scoring six consecutive goals in six games, the longest in the club's history, and six of the eight goals he has scored this season at home, sparking cheers from home fans.
Hwang Hee-chan has scored eight goals and two assists in 17 league games, leading the attack as the team's main gun and has already made double-digit attack points.
'Hwang Hee-chan's renewal of his contract was a natural process. There were already reports that he would sign a new contract with a one-year extension option in 2028, and Hwang Hee-chan said he would be one of the highest paid people in the team.'
