# Arsenal: Fans impressed by former transfer target Hwang Hee-chan’s display vs Liverpool

**Lots of Arsenal fans were keeping an eye on Tuesday night’s Champions League action, and plenty of them are urging the club to sign Red Bull Salzburg star Hwang Hee-chan.**

The Austrian outfit put up a good fight against European champions Liverpool, but they were dumped out of the competition by goals from Naby Keita and Mohamed Salah.

The likes of Hwang and Takumi Minamino stunned spectators with their displays despite the defeat, going toe-to-toe with Virgil van Dijk and giving the visitors a real run for their money.

Hwang has been [linked](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7554473/Arsenal-scouting-South-Korean-star-forward-Hwang-Hee-chan-starring-Red-Bull-Salzburg.html) with a move to the Emirates already this season, and fans were extremely impressed by the 23 year-old who has a whopping [14 assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/hee-chan-hwang/leistungsdaten/spieler/292246) this season.

Per [Whoscored](https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1426946/LiveStatistics/Europe-UEFA-Champions-League-2019-2020-Salzburg-Liverpool), the South Korea international registered three shots, all of which were on target, and [@StatmanDave](https://twitter.com/StatmanDave/status/1204415480112377856) has claimed the forward has created the most chances from open play of any player in Europe’s top-tier competition (14).
