# Wolves: Hwang Hee-chan may start vs Tottenham

**Wolves may now start Hwang Hee-chan at home to Tottenham Hotspur in the third round of the Carabao Cup, says Liam Keen.**

### The Lowdown: Hwang impressing

Hwang is certainly impressing at the Midlands club so far, after he scored on his debut in a short cameo in the 2-0 away win at Watford in the Premier League earlier on this month ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/hee-chan-hwang/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/292246/plus/0?saison=&verein=543&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=)).

He is emerging as a bit of a [fans favourite](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/wolves-news/wolves-fans-love-hwang-hee-chan-footage-vs-brentford/) already, and will no doubt want to show the Molineux faithful what else he can do over the next set of fixtures.

### The Latest: Start?

Writing in his latest piece for [The Express & Star](https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/football/wolverhampton-wanderers-fc/2021/09/21/wolves-v-spurs-preview-bruno-lage-demands-a-response/), Keen has now claimed that Hwang may be in line for a start against Spurs, along with Daniel Podence, while the entire defence may be changed from those who started the 2-0 loss at home to Brentford at Saturday lunchtime.

It would be his [first](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/hee-chan-hwang/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/292246/plus/0?saison=&verein=543&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) start under Bruno Lage, and another impressive performance may see him in contention to start in the league on the weekend.

### The Verdict: Start him

While there should be a few changes to the team expected given the need for rotation between the cups and the league, Hee-chan has certainly earned the right to start the match.

A player who [Erling Haaland loves](https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/who-is-hwang-hee-chan-rb-leipzig-south-korea-forward-to-replace-timo-werner-11957) from his time playing with him at RB Salzburg, he certainly has a point to prove having been [loaned](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/hee-chan-hwang/transfers/spieler/292246) out to WWFC from RB Leipzig.

Nonetheless, the South Korea international should give some good competition to Raul Jimenez and be able to fill in for him when he needs a rest.
