Despite not playing a minute yet, Miron Muslic isn't dampening expectations for Hwang who is donning Raúl's old No.7 jersey this season.
“We looked at him because we felt we were missing a player with his profile," Schalke's coach raved at yesterday's press conference.
“Hwang is someone who brings tremendous power and explosiveness to his movements,” he added, labeling him a “natural-born finisher”.
Hwang, already slightly known in Germany, scored just two goals for Hamburger SV in the second division back in 2018-19.
However, for RB Leipzig, he didn't score a single goal in 20 Bundesliga appearances, which slightly undermines Muslic's praise.
Ultimately, if the 30-year-old can reproduce the form of his 12-goal Premier League season in 2023-24, Royal Blue fans will be ecstatic.
Hwang may get his first opportunity to open his Bundesliga goal tally .
