Wolves' core leader Garry O'Neill has announced to the public that the team's top striker Hwang Hee-chan has officially finalized a contract extension until the height of summer in 2028. However, the 27-year-old South Korean international will depart for the Asian Cup tournament early next month and is expected to miss around six weeks of action. Gary O'Neil revealed that the team is actively seeking new recruits to fill the void during Hwang Hee-chan's departure.
In this season's Premier League, Hwang Hee-Chan has been a star performer, scoring 8 goals and 2 assists in 16 matches, and his outstanding performance has long been recognized by the club. The two sides have already reached a contract extension to ensure that the powerful scorer will continue to play for the team. Gali O'Neill said: "We are very satisfied with the performance of Huang Xican, he worked very hard and scored many key goals for the team, we are very happy that he can continue to play for the team."
However, Hwang Hee-chan is about to represent the South Korean national team in the Asian Cup in Qatar next month. The tournament will begin on the 12th of next month and run until the 10th of February next year. Should South Korea reach the finals, along with Hwang Hee-chan's training leading up to the tournament and his recovery after the tournament, he will likely be out of the Wolves' lineup for about six weeks.
