Tottenham wants to recruit a center back other than Kim Min-jae.

Christian Polk, a reporter for Sport Bild in Germany, confirmed again that Bayern Munich was willing to sell Kim Min-jae on the 19th (Korea time), and heard that Chelsea and Tottenham were interested in Kim Min-jae. There is no specific movement at this time. Because these clubs also seem to have to sell players. Bayern are still willing to sell Kim Min-jae, but there are no details yet,' he said. It was something that could not be ignored because reporter Polk is an informant familiar with the news of Bavaria.

However, British media who are well aware of Tottenham's news are talking about completely different things. The British Telegraph reported on the 21st that `Tottenham is still interested in Mark Gehi, but it is still unclear whether they will make another official proposal for him. 'Gehi was the target of Tottenham's last-minute recruitment offer at the end of the transfer window last winter, but Palace rejected it.' He explained that Tottenham maintains interest in Gehi.

The Telegraph reports that `Tottenham have not stopped paying attention to Guehi with only the last year left on his contract and does not rule out the possibility of making another offer on his own. Tottenham are considering reinforcing their defense this summer and are also monitoring the situation for Bournemouth's Ilya Zavarny.




Guehi is a center back currently connected to Liverpool, and Zavarnie is also a closer defender to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). As long as the two players have been selected as priority, even if Kim Min-jae is on the recruitment list, he will be pushed to the lower ranks.

There are also questions about whether it is true that Tottenham is really aiming for a center back. Christian Romero, who looked set to leave Tottenham, is likely to stay. This is because Atletico Madrid gave up its recruitment as Tottenham demanded a high transfer fee. If Romero remains, there are four authentic center members, including Mickey van der Penn, Kevin Danso and Radu Dragusin. If coach Thomas Frank uses a four-back tactic, four center backs will be enough.

The Telegraph also said that Ben Davies and Archie Gray can also play center backs in emergency situations, so attempts to recruit additional defenders are raising questions. 'The key issue is whether it is a countermeasure against Romero's departure or a proactive countermeasure considering Romero's long-term future with two years left on his contract,' he said, expressing doubts about Tottenham watching the centre-back.

Frank is a tactician who often alternated between three and four hundred when he was at Brentford. If you are considering even 300 tactics, you can recruit additional center backs. However, they are prioritizing other players over Kim Min-jae. No credible British media or journalists are linking Tottenham and Kim Min-jae at all.




It has become difficult to see Son Heung-min and Kim Min-jae, the best players in Korean history, share the same rice.
