The Red Bull Salzburg team of 2019/20 was one of the most exciting teams of recent memory. It gave players like Erling Haaland and Dominik Szoboszlai a platform on which to impress, but one who flew under the radar somewhat was South Korean forward Hwang Hee-chan.
Hwang made the move to RB Leipzig in the summer of 2020, but is already being courted by a handful of sides across Europe, with West Ham United the latest side to express an interest.

These days, Red Bull Salzburg are increasingly known across Europe and the wider world as developers of elite talent, from Erling Haaland, to Takumi Minamino, Naby Keita, Dayot Upamecano, Hwang Hee-chan, Dominik Szoboszlai and more.
The Red Bull model in general has also produced Timo Werner and Joshua Kimmich, both of whom were taken to the Leipzig side of the family as teenagers.
Red Bull took over Salzburg in 2005 and immediately re-branded the club, while Leipzig in Germany soon followed in 2009. In Salzburg, the Red Bull revolution brought immediate success back to the club, but the focus also saw a shift in the early 2010s to talent spotting.

Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce said on Friday he will not rush back the two players in his squad who are still facing the “damaging effects” of COVID-19 following an outbreak of the virus at the Premier League club.
Earlier this month, Newcastle were forced to close their training ground after several players and staff members tested positive for the novel coronavirus and their match against Aston Villa was postponed.
Bruce did not name the players severely affected by the virus but said the pair could be out of action for a long period.
