West Ham back in for Hwang Hee-Chan
That’s according to Mike McGrath:
We think that the RB Leipzig ace would be a fine addition for the Hammers.
The RB Leipzig attacker has been described as a superstar in the making by Korean website K League United.
Hwang possesses an impressive career record, with 63 goals and 43 assists to his name in 207 appearances (Transfermarkt).
The 25-year-old is a hard-working striker and possesses real quality in the final third. He is also incredibly versatile and is comfortable playing anywhere along the front-line.
The Telegraph recently claimed that the Hammers could sign the South Korean for just £10 million this summer.
