Tottenham Hotspur have joined the race to sign Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Hwang Hee-chan this summer.
Hwang Hee-chan looks likely to leave Wolverhampton Wanderers this summer with Tottenham Hotspur now keen.
That is according to a report from The Mirror, who claim that a real fight for Hwang is emerging.
It’s stated that Tottenham now want to lure Hwang to North London in a shock summer swoop.
The report claims that Newcastle have already made an enquiry into signing Hwang this summer.
Aston Villa and even Jose Mourinho’s Roma have registered an interest in Hwang with multiple suitors emerging.
Tottenham are now one of them too as they seek to reunite Hwang with Son Heung-min.
The pair are South Korea international teammates and have now turned out 51 times together.
Son and Hwang featured at the World Cup together too, with Son famously setting up Hwang for a last-minute winner against Portugal, securing a last-16 spot.
Wolves are looking to sell players this summer to avoid Financial Fair Play problems and Hwang seems primed for a departure.
Hwang Hee-chan wouldn’t take Tottenham to another level
Tottenham do need to make signings this summer and another attacker will surely be targeted.
Lucas Moura is on his way out and Arnaut Danjuma’s loan spell is coming to an end.
Adding a versatile forward who can play up front or out wide could be ideal – and Hwang ticks those boxes.
However, the South Korean ace just isn’t the level of player Tottenham need right now.
Hwang has only managed three goals this season and hasn’t even been a key player for Wolves.
Tottenham need to land impact players who can help get the club back towards the top four again.
Hwang just doesn’t seem like the level of talent Tottenham need to kick on again and even if Wolves are willing to sell for cheap, this is one Spurs should avoid.
