"I will not be satisfied with a new contract. I feel a responsibility to bring more victories. I am ready to fight for the team."

Hwang Hee-chan (27, Wolverhampton) expressed his ambitions after signing a new contract.

Wolverhampton announced on the club's official website on Feb. 22 (KST), "Hwang Hee-chan will stay with us until 2028. With an option for a further year," the club announced on its official website. His original contract ran until the summer of 2026.

Hwang, who moved to Wolverhampton on loan from Leipzig in August 2021, exceeded expectations and made the move permanent early the following year.

Although he had a disappointing time due to muscle injuries, his career at Wolverhampton went upwards. This season, he is at the peak of his powers, having reached a 'career high'.

He has nine goals and two assists in 19 official matches for the 2023-2024 season. Eight goals and two assists if you limit it to the EPL.

Hwang is currently Wolverhampton's top scorer this season with 17 league games played. He has four more goals than Cunha (five), who is second on the team, and is tied for seventh in the EPL. He is just two goals behind third-placed Son Heung-min (10).

Earlier, on March 13, Fabrizio Romano, a journalist familiar with European soccer news, exclusively reported on his social media accounts that "Wolverhampton have agreed a new deal with Hwang Hee-chan," adding, "The new contract will run until June 2028 and includes an option to extend."

"The new deal will put Hwang on the same level as the club's highest paid players. It's a huge move for Wolverhampton."

On the 17th, Wolverhampton manager Gary O'Neill also mentioned Hwang's name as a 'contract issue'. In effect, it was a confirmation of his departure.

He first said, "I'm happy for Hwang because he's worked hard. Since I came to this team, me, the staff, Hwang and his teammates have done our best. He's scored some really important goals and I'm happy that the club will be able to rely on his performance for longer."

"Channy (Hwang's nickname) came to see me and my staff yesterday to thank us for the work we did to help him secure a new contract, which shows how important he is to our team. It's great to see someone rewarded with goals, assists and a new contract." Mourinho praised Hwang and acknowledged the fact that he had re-signed him.

On the 13th, 'Molineux News', which mainly covers Wolverhampton news, quoted Romano as saying, "The highest paid player at Wolverhampton right now is Pablo Sarabia. He is reported to be paid £90,000 (about $147 million)." Hwang is currently earning a weekly salary of £30,000 (approximately $49 million), which would triple his salary if he re-signed at the highest level in the team.Announcing the re-signing of Hwang, Wolverhampton said: "The South Korea international first pulled on a Wolverhampton shirt on loan in 2021 and has now scored nine goals (in all competitions) in the run up to Christmas under Gary O'Neill. I'm enjoying my best season ever," he said.

"Since scoring his debut goal for (Wolverhampton) against Watford two years ago, Hwang has been quick to show his ruthlessness in front of goal," he added, "Only five players have scored more goals in the EPL this season than Hwang. He has a great chemistry with Pedro Neto and Mateusz Cunha in the team."

The praise for Hwang continued. "His equalizers against 'defending champions' Manchester City and Newcastle were brilliant, and he has now scored in six consecutive games at home, matching John Richards' record. He is the first player since Derek Dougan 50 years ago to score six goals in the opening 10 games of a season."바카라사이트

Matt Hobbs, Wolverhampton's Director of Sport, added: "He has given everything for the club. "He has given everything for the club and the fans appreciate the important role he plays under O'Neill. He's a player who has proven his worth on and off the pitch."

Hwang added: "I'm happy to stay at Wolverhampton for another year, and I want to thank my teammates, staff, family and fans. I'm very happy. I'm enjoying life and football here. I'm ready to give my all in the future," he said of his new contract.

"Of course, the nine goals (this season) make me happy, but I want to thank my teammates, the coaching staff and my family first, because you can never do it alone. I learned a lot from the coaching staff, so my goal is to play 'for the team'. I will continue to do my best to be a useful player for the team."

"I will not be satisfied with just a new contract. Sometimes I talk to players about 'big ambitions'. I feel the responsibility to bring more victories. I am ready to fight for the team," he added.

It's clear that the re-signing is a motivating factor for Hwang. "I don't want to stop here," he said. I want to reach the highest level possible," he said.
