# Everton: Fans are eager to bring in Hwang Hee-chan who was ‘superb against Liverpool’

**Everton are reportedly linked with a move for Red Bull Salzburg’s Hwang Hee-chan this summer.**

[According to the Liverpool ECHO](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/everton-transfer-plans-face-major-18302124) (posted via [@TheGwladysSt](https://twitter.com/TheGwladysSt/status/1264271899682627586)), the club are interested in the forward as they make their plans for the upcoming transfer window.

The report states Carlo Ancelotti is prioritising ‘quality over quantity’ and doesn’t expect to land any ‘big money deals’.

Hee-chan has had a terrific season with Salzburg after returning from a loan spell at Hamburg last summer. The 24-year-old has accumulated 13 goals and 16 assists this term, including the goal and assist he bagged against Liverpool in the Champions League (via [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/hee-chan-hwang/leistungsdaten/spieler/292246)).

[According to Transfermarkt,](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/hee-chan-hwang/marktwertverlauf/spieler/292246) Hee-chan is valued at £9 million, indicating a fair asking price should Everton opt to pursue a move for the South Korean international.

Blues fans seem to already be sold on the idea of adding the striker to their ranks. One supporter thinks he would be an ‘absolutely unreal signing’ whilst another remembers his performance against the Reds and has commented ‘looked superb against Liverpool’.

Meanwhile, one fan even [compared him](https://twitter.com/Evertoningen/status/1264385918405926917?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) to former Toffee Andrey Kanchelskis. They were perhaps referring to the fact that he too was a goalscorer, netting [20 times](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/andrey-kanchelskis/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/3742) in 52 appearances for Everton, and that he is a similar stature to Hee-chan with a height of [1.78m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/andrey-kanchelskis/profil/spieler/3742) compared to the South Korean’s[1.77m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/hee-chan-hwang/profil/spieler/292246).

> The pictures, for those who haven’t seen it, is fairly humorous b/c he completely undresses VVD at Anfield on this goal.
