Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on signing Wolverhampton Wanderers attacker Hwang Hee-chan.
Hwang Hee-chan has been in impressive form this season, scoring 11 goals across all competitions. He could prove to be a quality acquisition for Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur. A report from Football Insider has claimed that the two Premier League clubs have been watching the player in action this season, and they are quite impressed.
Hwang Hee-chan in Demand
It will be interesting to see if they decide to follow up on their interest with a concrete proposal to sign the player in January. Liverpool could certainly use attacking reinforcements this month, especially with Mohamed Salah missing some games because of the AFCON duty.
Meanwhile, Tottenham are already lacking in depth in the attacking department and Son Heung-min will be away on international duty because of the Asia Cup. But Hwang will not be a solution for either club, considering he will at the AFC Asian Cup with South Korea. So, he will be a long-term option for Liverpool and Tottenham.
Liverpool, Tottenham Vying for Hwang Hee-chan
Liverpool could certainly use a versatile forward to chip in with goals and creativity. The South Korean is capable of operating as a winger as well as a centre-forward. He could prove to be a quality acquisition for Liverpool if they can sign him for a reasonable price.
The opportunity to join one of the biggest clubs in the world will be a tempting proposition for Hwang Hee-chan and he will be attracted to the idea of playing for the Reds. Meanwhile, Tottenham need someone like him at their disposal as well.
Spurs will be desperate to secure UEFA Champions League qualification and they need more quality and depth in their squad. Signing Hwang in January could prove to be a wise move, and it remains to be seen whether they can beat Liverpool to his signature.
The South Korean is at the peak of his powers right now, and a move to a big Premier League club could be an exciting opportunity for him. He will want to test himself at the highest level and compete for major trophies in the coming seasons.
Liverpool and Tottenham could help him compete for trophies and play in the UEFA Champions League in the near future. However, Hwang Hee-chan is a key player for Wolves, and they will not want to lose him any time soon. Liverpool and Tottenham might have to shell out a premium in order to sign him.
