Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on Kin Min-jae.
According to TEAMtalk, Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are all interested in signing South Korean international defender Kim Min-jae.
Kim, 21, started out with Gyeongju KHNP before heading to Jeonbuk Hyundai in late 2016, and he has become a K-League regular over the last 18 months.
The centre back, who stands at 6ft 2in tall, has even earned seven caps for South Korea already, and looks set to feature at this summer’s World Cup in Russia.
Ahead of that tournament, which could be a launchpad for Kim’s career, TEAMtalk report that three Premier League giants – Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham – are all pursuing his signature.
Tottenham may look to develop Kim behind Davinson Sanchez and Jan Vertonghen, whilst their interest is yet another connection to South Korean football.
Not only has Kim’s international teammate Son Heung-min been a sensation for Tottenham, but Mercato 365 reported last week that Spurs are also keen on Dijon midfielder Kwon Chang-hoon.
Spurs may hope to build a South Korean contingent this summer, but with Liverpool and North London rivals Arsenal also thought to be in the race for the talented young centre back, it promises to be an intense battle for his signature.
