RB Leipzig’s plans to rebuild their attack after star man Timo Werner’s departure are already taking shape, with the Bundesliga side singing Hwang Hee-chan.
Werner’s £48m move to the Premier League with Chelsea sees Leipzig’s record goalscorer leave the club. The German netted a vital 28 league goals this season, a tally they must find a new source for ahead of 2020-21.
Hwang, who signs from sister-club RB Salzburg, scored 16 goals and recorded 22 assists for the Austrian side this term, starting alongside Erling Haaland before the Norwegian sensation’s mid-season transfer to Borussia Dortmund.
