Hwang Hee-chan had a difficult time in the previous season. Compared to the 2023-2024 season, the gap is even more significant. In the 2023-2024 season, when Hwang Hee-chan played as an ace, he played in 29 games in the league alone, scoring 12 goals and 3 assists, ranking first in the team. After the Asian Cup, the scoring pace in the second half fell and did not score more points, but it was clear that it was the core of the team's attack until the end of the season.
However, the 2024-2025 season lost its position due to injuries and sluggishness. Under the newly appointed coach Viktor Pereira, Hwang Hee-chan failed to seize the opportunity. In the British media 'Uncontroversial, Hwang Hee-chan is one of Wolverhampton's worst players this season. There was even an evaluation that 'I didn't see the same threat as last season at all.

The possibility of Hwang Hee-chan's transfer this summer continues to be discussed. Several teams, including Birmingham City in the English Championship (second division), sought to recruit Hwang Hee-chan, and now the English Premier League (EPL) club Palace has entered negotiations wanting Hwang Hee-chan.
The reason why Palace wants Hwang Hee-chan is the aftermath of the recent transfer and injury. Tottenham recently started recruiting Eberechi Eze to fill the gap between Son Heung-min and James Maddison, and Tottenham is reportedly close to signing Eze. Recruitment of resources in the league such as Hwang Hee-chan is inevitably important to fill the vacancy of Eze, who plays the position of offensive midfielder and left winger. For Hwang Hee-chan, the possibility of a loan transfer that will receive a chance on the EPL stage again has increased due to the transfer of Son Heung-min.
Meanwhile, in addition to Hwang Hee-chan, Palace is recruiting other offensive resources, Bilal Elcanus and Christos Cholis, so negotiations with Hwang Hee-chan are expected to be important. Moreover, Hwang Hee-chan is expected to have more opportunities to play if he joins Palace, which will also play in the Europa Conference League this season.
