Hwang Hee-chan’s difficult trip to West Ham, followed by Nagels and Lingard

[OSEN=강필주 기자] National forward Hwang Hee-chan (25, Leipzig)’s transfer to English Premier League (EPL) West Ham United is seldom going well.

On the 28th (Korean time), British media’Sky Sports’ said that West Ham is in negotiations with Leipzig to sign Hwang Hee-chan on loan, and coach David Moyes West Ham will make a final decision. Hwang Hee-chan was previously known to want to join the Bundesliga Mainz as well.

The reason Hwang Hee-chan wants to leave Leipzig is clear. Last summer, he moved from Salzburg (Austria) to Leipzig, but he has only played 9 games this season. In the first round of DFB Pokal with Nuremberg, he made an excellent debut with one goal and one help, but was pushed out of the main battle due to the confirmation and injury of the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19).

West Ham transferred striker Haller to Ajax in the winter transfer market. The only attacker left is Mikhail Antonio. If Hwang Hee-chan joins us, it is expected to be a definite vitality to the West Ham attack line.

The January transfer market is nearing an end. With two stumbling blocks, Hwang Hee-chan’s trip to London is rarely resolved. First of all, coach Julian Nagelsmann Leipzig put the brakes on. Coach Nagelsmann opposes Hwang Hee-chan’s transfer at a press conference ahead of the home game of the 2020-2021 Bundesliga round 19 with Leverkusen on the 31st.

He said, “Hwang Hee-chan had a hard time with the corona and couldn’t handle training properly.” Insisted.

It also takes West Ham’s attention to Jesse Lingard (29, Manchester United). Lingard is aiming for a transfer after being unable to secure a spot in Manchester United under the managerial system of Ole Gunnar Solskár. British media Telegraph believes that Manchester United and West Ham have not reached an agreement over the Lingard rental fee.

For Lingard rentals, West Ham is asking for £1 million and Manchester United at least £1.5 million. However, I thought the negotiations could be settled before the transfer deadline. In this case, it is highly likely that West Ham’s interest in Hwang Hee-chan will subside.

Previously, I thought that West Ham could take Hwang Hee-chan with Lingard. However, if West Ham secures Lingard, the media is expected to have no recruitment of Hwang Hee-chan. Like Hwang Hee-chan, Lingard can handle not only the second-line striker, but also the flank winger and midfielder. /[email protected]
