Should see minutes up front
Hwang will be part of South Korea's roster and could have a solid chance to start in an attacking spot as he heads into the third World Cup of his career.
Analysis: Hwang offers extensive experience to South Korea's attack, with over 10 years spent playing in Europe and five previous World Cup outings already under his belt. The attacker is valued primarily for his offensive contributions and ability to stretch defenses with his movement. After an injury absence in February due to calf problems, he returned to the starting lineup for his club's final three matches of the campaign, failing to score but delivering one assist over that period. His role may vary depending on the formation, but he remains one of the squad's most proven scorers alongside Son Heung-Min and Lee Kang-In. Hwang scored a penalty goal during a friendly game versus Trinidad and Tobago in late May, although that happened while the main taker Son was not on the field.
Delivers one assist
Hwang assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and three chances created in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Fulham.
Analysis: Hwang delivered the assist for Wolves' opening goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Fulham, receiving Rodrigo Gomes's cross in the center of the penalty area in the first half and intelligently laying the ball off to Mateus Mane instead of shooting, allowing the Portuguese winger to fire home with a clean strike, while also adding three key passes and three tackles. Hwang has now scored two goals and provided two assists across 25 Premier League appearances this season, with his future remaining uncertain following Wolves' relegation to the Championship.
