French Media “Ligue 1 Montpellier HSC is Considering Recruiting Hwang Ui-jo”
There has been a local report that French professional soccer Ligue 1 Montpellier HSC is considering recruiting former national team striker Hwang Ui-jo, who is suspected of illegal filming.
French sports media L’Equipe reported on January 31 (local time) that “Montpellier is considering recruiting Yann Caramo (Torino) and Hwang Ui-jo (Nottingham Forest) to strengthen the offensive line.”
He continued, “We have concluded the loan contract with Kelvin Yeboah and are considering various reinforcement measures.
Among them, the recruitment of Karamo and Hwang Ui-jo is included.” 파워볼사이트
Yeboah, who joined Genoa on loan for the 2023-2024 season, appeared in 13 league games but did not score a single goal,
which has greatly reduced his position.
Montpellier is ranked 12th in the league with 4 wins, 8 draws, and 7 losses this season.
Hwang Ui-jo played in French Ligue 1 Bordeaux for three seasons until the 2021-2022 season.
Hwang Ui-jo, who entered the English Premier League (EPL) by leaving the French stage and joining Nottingham in August 2022,
was immediately loaned to Olympiacos (Greece), and did not perform particularly well in Greece.
He returned to his original team, Nottingham,
but has not been able to play the field once since the opening of the 2023-2024 season.
He had the opportunity to play for Norwich City in the Championship last September,
but left Norwich City after four months on loan.
Hwang Ui-jo is under police investigation on charges of illegally filming sexual intercourse with his ex-lover.
As a result of a meeting held by forming a discussion body,
the Korea Football Association decided not to select Hwang Ui-jo as the national team member until a clear conclusion is reached by the investigative agency.
National team coach Jurgen Klinsmann also expressed support for Hwang Ui-jo through interviews in the early stages of the incident,
but did not select Hwang Ui-jo for the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup following the association’s decision.
