Report: West Ham eye loan move for Hee-Chan Hwang

West Ham have joined the race to sign RB Leipzig striker Hee-Chan Hwang on loan this month, according to reports from Sky Sports Austria.

The report claims that the Hammers have emerged as ‘very hot’ candidates to sign the 24-year-old striker. However, David Moyes’ side could face competition from several Bundesliga clubs for his signature.

The 34-time capped South Korean international joined Leipzig in the summer from Red Bull Salzburg on a five-year contract.

He scored 45 goals in 126 appearances for Salzburg but has struggled to make an impact at the German club.
