During their tenure in the Premier League, Leeds United was denied a number of transfer targets.
Josko Gvardiol, Rodrigo de Paul, and Cody Gakpo are a few names that immediately come to mind, but this season, another name that may be less well-known is truly shining.
Leeds needed a striker back in the summer of 2022 as they looked to reduce the burden on injuries after squandering a large portion of the window chasing Charles de Ketelaere.
Leeds was never able to sign a new number nine, but Jesse Marsch was eager to bring Hwang Hee-Chan from Wolverhampton Wanderers, with whom he had previously collaborated, to Elland Road.
Prior to this season, Hwang has scored just eight goals in 57 Premier League appearances, which was hardly the prolific marksman Leeds needed in their squad.
However this season, Hwang has turned it around and more than proved his doubters wrong, scoring as many Premier League goals in the opening 15 matches, as he had done in the previous two years.
