Hwang Hee-chan is connected to Birmingham City. Birmingham City is a team with Korean national midfielder Baek Seung-ho as a member of the English Football League (second division).

However, there is also news that Birmingham City do not want to recruit any more players. The high transfer fee proposed by French Ligue 1 Marseille in the past is also expected to act as a variable. This is why a careful approach is needed to the possibility of Hwang Hee-chan's transfer at this point.

Birmingham Live in the United Kingdom on the 14th (Korea time) "Hwang Hee-chan is connected to Birmingham City. Hwang Hee-chan's name has been mentioned over and over again throughout this summer's transfer window," he said. "South Korean international striker Hwang Hee-chan had a difficult time with Wolverhampton Wanderers last season, and there are speculations that he could be allowed to move this summer."




Hwang Hee-chan played in 29 games in the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2023-2024 season, scoring 12 goals and three assists, but his form declined last season, scoring only two goals in 21 games.

Wolverhampton boss Vitor Pereira favours other attacking resources and, like new Birmingham City recruit Tommy Doyle, Hwang Hee-chan could be looking for a move to get more chances to play.

Hwang Hee-chan is one of the key players of the Korean national team and wants to perform well this season to play in the World Cup next year. It is pointed out that leaving the Premier League should also be considered for this. Birmingham City are a team to consider.




The media outlet said, "Birmingham has a link with Hwang Hee-chan, as Paik Seung-ho, Hwang Hee-chan's teammate, has the firm trust of Birmingham City coach Chris Davis."Currently, the offensive line-up also needs decisive resources to play as striker No. 9, playmaker No. 10 or side resource."

Birmingham has preferred to recruit East Asian players for the past two years. In fact, Baek Seung-ho, flanker Lee Myung-jae, and five Japanese players have been recruited in the recent transfer market.

However, although the club's internal interest in Hwang Hee-chan is clear, the media pointed out that it is not realistic in terms of finances.

Hwang Hee-chan signed a five-year contract with Wolverhampton in December 2023 and is currently receiving a high weekly salary within the team.

Birmingham have hired Tommy Doyle, a member of the same Wolverhampton, on loan in line with the club's existing weekly system, but Hwang Hee-chan's current conditions cannot fit into Birmingham's system. In addition, another variable is that the transfer fee offered to him by Marseille last summer amounted to 21 million pounds (about 39 billion won). Wolverhampton is likely to demand a high transfer fee based on this.

In the end, it is predicted that Birmingham will no longer recruit players.

The media outlet said: "Birmingham, which has already brought in seven players this summer alone, is now in a more focused stage on cleaning up its players"Two of the players who have been excluded from coach Chris Davis's power plan so far have left, including Ayumu Yokoyama."
