Tottenham is reportedly closing in on the signing of Kim Min-Jae from Beijing Goan.
The South Korean has emerged as a top target for the Lilywhites for some weeks now, and it appears that they could get the deal over the line soon.
Min-Jae is a towering centre back who has been praised for his dominating performances in the Chinese Super League.
He has been one of his team’s best players, and the nature of his game is predicted to help him succeed in the Premier League.
Spurs have been in talks with Beijing Guoan over his transfer for some time now, according to reports from Korea via Sports.news.naver.com.
A source told the website that “As for Kim Min-jae transfer, negotiations are underway between Beijing Guoan and the Tottenham club. Both teams are positive about the transfer.”
It also suggests that both teams are set to agree on a fee of around £15 million for the defender.
Spurs need to strengthen their defence ahead of next season and the importance of signing a new defender is made more pronounced by the fact that they might lose Jan Vertonghen for free this summer and the future of Juan Foyth is also up in the air.
Jose Mourinho has been brought in to win trophies and the former Manchester United boss will be looking to get his team prepared for that next season with some new signings.
Could Kim Min-jae be one of those signings?
true
Fair point he’s been pony for us recently but I doubt many would argue Dele’s not PL standard.
Did Dele turn out OK, was great at the beginning. Now?
Nice showreel😄
Yeah but not sure how good he actually is, done a job for a bit I guess.
He is a regular for sure, just because we know nothing about doesn’t mean he can’t be any good. Didn’t the guy ManU got in when Rashford was out come from the CSL?
Is he a regular in the South Korea side? If he is then he might have half a chance.
Coming from league 1 was a huge jump but Dele turned out ok. This boy might be alright.
Maybe he could be great, but the standard of the League he’s playing in it would be a huge jump to the Premier League. I don’t think this is a goer.
I know next to nothing about this lad except he’s big. That said if he helps keep Sonny at the club and has a similar attitude, then he could be great. Early business would also help get him ready for next season.
I cant for the life of me see this lad adding value…especially not until December…wish we had gone for Ake.
