Hwang Hee-chan

Hwang Hee-chan, nicknamed 'Hwangso' (the Bull), is a South Korean forward for Wolverhampton Wanderers famed for his stoppage-time winner against Portugal that sent South Korea through at the 2022 World Cup.

Hwang Hee-chan's stoppage-time winner against Portugal at the 2022 World Cup sent South Korea through to the round of 16 and produced the defining moment of his international career — a strike that arrived three years after his 12-goal Premier League season at Wolves confirmed him as one of South Korean football's most potent attackers. Nicknamed 'Hwangso' (the Bull) for his aggressive playing style, he spent five years developing at Salzburg, including loan spells at FC Liefering and Hamburger SV, before joining RB Leipzig in 2020. Hwang moved to Wolverhampton Wanderers on loan in 2021, making his move permanent for £14 million in January 2022, and has become one of the club's most important attacking players, scoring 12 Premier League goals in the 2023-24 season and becoming the first Wolves player in 50 years to score six goals in a season's opening ten matches. He signed a new long-term contract with the club in December 2023. Hwang has represented South Korea since 2016, and produced the defining moment of his international career at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, scoring a dramatic stoppage-time winner against Portugal that sent South Korea through to the round of 16. He also won gold at the 2018 Asian Games with the South Korean under-23 side, scoring the winning goal in the final against Japan, and has earned over 80 caps for the senior national team.
