He is also tied for first place with Paulo Netu (one goal, seven assists).
There were a lot of scoring shots at important moments.

In particular, the home fans are enthusiastic every day, strengthening their position in the team. Hwang Hee-chan scored six consecutive goals at home alone, starting with his last home game last season. It was the first time in Wolverhampton’s history that it was founded in 1877. It is a natural step to strengthen the team’s position as it has always given valuable gifts to many home fans who visited Molineux Stadium, the home of Wolverhampton. The reason why Wolverhampton club wants to continue accompanying Hwang Hee-chan is in the same vein.
With many clubs already watching Hwang Hee-chan, there is a possibility of renewing his contract, so Hwang Hee-chan also plans to make a careful judgment over various options. In fact, last summer, Hwang Hee-chan received attention from Tottenham and AS Roma. At that time, the possibility of a transfer was raised in line with the financial difficulty of Wolverhampton, but Hwang Hee-chan decided to continue with Wolverhampton first. It is said that Julen Lopetegui opposed Hwang Hee-chan’s transfer, regardless of the transfer rumors that have been heard by some due to financial difficulties.

Now the choice is with Hwang Hee-chan. Currently, there are other clubs that are aiming for them as well as their teams, so they need to think about various things. Born in 1996, it is the time to think more about it as it is the peak period as a striker.
Hwang Hee-chan has set a steady guarantee of playing time as his top priority whenever he thinks about his future. In addition, considering Wolverhampton’s objective history, a team that can enjoy a bigger stage, such as the UEFA club competition, can now be an important criterion. Hwang Hee-chan’s last appearance in the UEFA club competition was in the 2020-21 season when he played in the UEFA Champions League during Leipzig.
It’s time to think about the financial part, which is known to have not been an important condition for Hwang Hee-chan. According to Caropology, Hwang Hee-chan’s current weekly salary is estimated to be 30,000 pounds (about 45 million won). It is only at the mid-range level within the team, and it is far short of the players who play in big clubs. Wolverhampton will offer better conditions in the process of renegotiating the contract, but the increase is not expected to be significant given that the highest weekly player in the team is Pablo Sarabia, who is only 90,000 pounds (about 46 million won). If Hwang Hee-chan’s desired playing time is guaranteed and the terms of the contract are much better, Hwang Hee-chan can also take a new challenge.
Meanwhile, Hwang Hee-chan has been called up to the national team and is preparing for the second round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. In the first match against Singapore, he also scored an additional header, helping his team’s 6-0 victory. In the recent A match, he has scored goals for two consecutive games, continuing his strong sense of scoring. The match against China, which Hwang Hee-chan will challenge for three consecutive goals, will be held at the Shenzhen Universiade Sports Center in China at 9 p.m. on the 21st.
