Wolves striker Hwang targets Park record: But I'm not in his class

Wolves striker Hwang Hee-chan says there's more to come from him.

Hwang has 11 goals and needs two more to beat Manchester United hero Park Ji-Sung's record for the most goals in a Premier League season by a South Korean.

He said, “Honestly, it is a big motivation for me to break these amazing records the Korean players have set in the past.

“Even if I do break those records, I will not say I have surpassed them and have become a better player than them. That wouldn't be true. For me, it is just one part of a motivation for me to work hard and keep improving as a player. I grew my dreams as a child watching players like Park play.

“I spoke to Ki Sung-yueng as well recently, and I feel if I do break their records, they will be proud of me as well. It is something that motivates me everyday and I always play my football not to be compared to others, but as a battle with myself. I want to keep working to go as high as possible so I'm always working harder and prepared to play to my best levels."
