Arsenal are reportedly interested in forward Hwang Hee-chan from Austrian top-flight outfit Red Bull Salzburg – and some of the club’s supporters on Twitter have responded by stating they don’t need him at the Emirates Stadium.

The Daily Mail reports that Unai Emery’s side are keeping a close eye on the attacker, while Crystal Palace are also keen.

It is understood that an exit next summer is “likely”, if he can continue in the same kind of form that he’s started the season in.

The 23-year-old has been tearing it up for Salzburg this campaign in both domestic and European competitions.

Hwang has scored five goals and supplied seven assists in just nine domestic matches, where the centre-forward has been part of an exciting attacking unit.

The South Korea international has left his mark in the Champions League group stages so far too and it’s his performances in that competition that suggests he has a big future ahead of him.

He scored one and assisted two more in a home victory against Genk, while at Anfield against Liverpool he scored a brilliant individual goal that saw him leave Virgil Van Dijk for dead and added another assist to his tally.

Salzburg’s 19-year-old striker Erling Braut Hallend is in the limelight this season for his effort, but teammate Hwang has been equally impressive and looks destined for the top.

A selection of supporters on social media don’t feel they need forward target Hwang despite his electric start to the season.

The North London club are stacked with attacking talent themselves, with the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alexander Lacazette and Nicolas Pepe at the top end of the pitch.
