Desperate news has been delivered to Hwang Hee-chan. Wolverhampton undecided striker Jorgen Strand Larsen has signed a long-term contract with the club.
The BBC reported on the 19th (Korea Standard Time) "Wolverhampton Wanderers have agreed to extend their contract with Jörgen Strand Larsen until 2030.
The deal also includes an additional one-year option, which comes just three months after Wolverhampton signed Strand Larsen. As such, expectations for Strand Larsen are high.
Wolverhampton rejected Newcastle's offer of 50 million pounds (about 94.2 billion won) and 55 million pounds (about 100 billion won) this summer. Strand Larsen played on loan for Celta Vigo (Spain) last season and scored 14 goals.
Wolverhampton manager Vitor Pereira strongly supports Strand Larsen. Used him as a built-in striker last season.
"We need this type of player to raise our standards and give other players a chance to take a leap forward," Pereira said. "He is a player with not only tactical and technical skills but also mental strength and personality. It's a very important player for us, and this news is really good news."
After a successful loan season, Larsen fully transferred for 23 million pounds (about 43 billion won) to help Wolverhampton stay in the English Premier League (EPL). He missed the last two games with an Achilles injury.
Wolverhampton, who are at the bottom of the table with four consecutive Premier League starts, bring Leeds home this weekend. We expect Larsen to re-energize the team.
Pereira believes the timing of the contract was right. "Trust, hard work and dedication are important in football," Pereira said. You can see his worth if you look at the hard work he shows here every day."
Strand Larsen's long-term contract is unfortunate news for Hwang Hee-chan. Last season, Hwang Hee-chan played as a backup member as he was pushed out of the main competition with Strand Larsen. Now, Strand Larsen is recovering from his injury, so Hwang Hee-chan is starting. If Strand Larsen returns, Hwang Hee-chan's chances to play are expected to decrease again. If Strand Larsen's long-term rule begins again, Hwang Hee-chan will have to find a way out of the transfer market next winter.
