Miron Muslic discusses Hwang Hee-chan ahead of Schalke debut

Summary

Schalke coach Miron Muslic has publicly praised recent signing Hwang Hee-chan, describing the forward as a natural-born finisher. The 30-year-old joined the club from Wolves on deadline day but has yet to make his team debut. While Muslic highlighted the player's power and explosive movement, Hwang carries a varied record in German football, including limited scoring stints at Hamburger SV and RB Leipzig. The forward is currently tasked with wearing the No.7 jersey previously held by Raúl. Schalke officials are looking for the player to replicate his 2023-24 Premier League performance where he recorded 12 goals. Hwang remains available for selection as Schalke prepares to play 1.FC Union Berlin away on Friday at 20:30 CET.
