“Actually Official” Hwang Hee-chan, Wolverhampton, “I’m happy to accompany you for a long time!” just before signing a life contract for “three times the annual salary.”

England’s “The Athletic” reported on the 15th (Korea time), “Wolverhampton forward Hwang Hee-chan agreed to extend the contract with the club until 2028. Last month, the media reported that Wolverhampton and Hwang Hee-chan were negotiating over a new contract, and coach O’Neill confirmed it himself.”

“Hwang Hee-chan is a great man. He came to me and the staff yesterday and thanked them for being with me until we signed a new contract. This shows what kind of person Hwang Hee-chan is and how important he is in the group. It is great to be rewarded with a new contract.”

Hwang Hee-chan has been showing great determination since the opening. He has scored eight goals in the 16th round of the Premier League against Brighton in the 2nd round, Crystal Palace in the 4th round, Liverpool in the 5th round, Manchester City in the 7th round, Aston Villa in the 8th round, Newcastle United in the 10th round, Fulham in the 13th round and Burnley in the 15th round. He recorded assists in the 9th round against Bournemouth and the 11th round against Sheffield United. During the period, Hwang Hee-chan also set a milestone of “aggression points in five consecutive games” and “goals in six consecutive games in the Molinho Stadium League.”

The score is also impressive. As for the score, the team garnered eight points through matches against Manchester City in the seventh round (one goal, 2-1 win), Aston Villa in the eighth round (one goal, 1-1 draw), Newcastle in the 10th round (one goal, 2-1 draw), and Burnley in the 15th round (one goal, 1-0 win). As for the Assistance, the team garnered three points through matches against Bournemouth in the ninth round (one assist, 2-1 win). In other words, Hwang Hee-chan scored 11 points in attack.

He was named the club’s October Player of the Month as well. “Hwang Hee-chan was named the October Player of the Month. He scored attack points in all three games in October, and became the third player of the month this season (Sasha Kalaijic → Pedro Netu in September → Hwang Hee-chan in October),” Wolverhampton officially announced. Now, Hwang Hee-chan has established himself as an indispensable striker for Wolverhampton.

Especially, the month of October was remarkable. The match against Newcastle in the 10th round was dramatic. At the time, Hwang Hee-chan could have lost his mind due to the PK allowance, but he remained focused for 90 minutes. He also completed a milestone of “six consecutive goals in the Molineux Stadium League.” “Hwang Hee-chan scored after beating Pope with smart movements. This season, Hwang Hee-chan scored five of his six goals at home, and no player has scored more at home than him this season,” the BBC highly praised.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola called him a “Korean Guy” and became a hot topic of conversation. Hwang Hee-chan said, “I saw (the mention) before the game. I want to think positively. Guardiola is the best coach in the world. It’s an honor to hear that he mentioned me. I want to think positively.” Hwang Hee-chan later proved himself by shaking the net against Manchester City.

Leipzig, his former team, also took note. RB Live, which delivers Leipzig news, said, “Hwang Hee-chan has reached a turning point. He went to Wolverhampton after failing in Leipzig. Now Wolverhampton wants to extend his contract with Hwang Hee-chan on improved terms. Hwang Hee-chan has scored seven goals this season and is in charge of Wolverhampton’s offense. He also helped South Korea secure a landslide victory over Singapore in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Asian qualifiers for Canada-Mexico-U.S. (North and Central America). Talks are going smoothly. Hwang had difficulties in his early days when he joined the team, but so far he has been smooth.”

Thanks to the strong performance, the possibility of renewing the contract was raised. Earlier, “The Athletic” said, “Wolverhampton is discussing re-signing with Hwang Hee-chan. In return for his recent achievements, I would like to offer a contract renewal. Hwang Hee-chan is known to like playing under O’Neill. Negotiations are positively underway, and if the conditions are met, it is expected that he will sign it,” he said, pointing to the possibility of an extension.

O’Neill nicknamed Hwang Hee-chan “Channy.” According to the British newspaper Birmingham Mail, when asked about Hwang Hee-chan, O’Neill said, “Of course, I am hopeful. Nothing has been substantially updated. The club is definitely in conversation with “Channy,” and I am a big fan of “Channy,” so I hope it goes well.” He added, “Since I took the helm, Hwang Hee-chan has been amazing. He performed everything he asked for and scored well. Hwang Hee-chan is always smiling, determined, and determined. He is an important player for the club. I hope he can secure it for longer than the current contract.”

Fabrizio Romano, a transfer market expert famous for his signature “Here we go,” said on social media, “Wolverhampton has agreed to renew his contract with Hwang Hee-chan. The new contract is valid until June 2028 and comes with an extension option. With this contract, Hwang Hee-chan will be on the same level as Wolverhampton’s highest-paid player.” It is a shocking contract. Hwang Hee-chan and Wolverhampton will continue to accompany each other until up to June 2029 when considering the extension option. On top of that, he will also become a top-paid player. According to the U.S. statistics media Spotrac, Wolverhampton’s current highest-paid player is Pablo Sarabia, who receives £90,000 (W147.4 million) a week and £4.68 million (W7.7 billion) a year. He is expected to triple his existing salary.

Coach O’Neill was happy that his companionship with Hwang Hee-chan was extended, and the official announcement was made. Hwang Hee-chan, who has entered his prime at the age of 27, will spend his career twilight with the Wolves Corps.

Meanwhile, Wolverhampton will face West Ham United in the 17th round of the 2023-24 Premier League at London Stadium at 11 p.m. on the 17th. Currently, Wolverhampton is in 13th place with 19 points (5 wins, 4 draws, 7 losses, 21 wins, 26 losses, -5).
