Is it really true. It is surprising news that Tottenham is aiming for Lee Kang-in as a substitute for Son Heung-min.

British Football Transfer said it was an exclusive report on the 23rd (Korea time), adding that Tottenham is interested in recruiting Lee Kang-in from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) after losing Eberechi Eze to Arsenal. Tottenham, led by manager Thomas Frank, are looking for a new attacking midfielder after James Maddison's anterior cruciate ligament injury and Dejan Kulusevski's knee injury and are considering Lee Kang-in as one alternative, he said.

The media reported that `Tottenham had earlier proceeded to the final stage of recruiting Eze, but England's national team Eze chose to go to rival Arsenal instead of Tottenham. The transfer fee is known to be up to 78 million euros (about 126.6 billion won). Tottenham also failed to sign Morgan Gibbs-White this summer, adding that they had two new candidates on the list, including Lee Kang-in.

The person who delivered this information is a Duncan Castle reporter. Castle is a famous transfer market expert, but the information is not very good, so we have to wait for the stories of influential media to see if Tottenham really aims for Lee Kang-in.




First of all, reporter Castle said "Savinho has a high transfer fee. AS Monaco's Magnes Aklouche is also of interest, as he is a left-footed player with excellent skills and is a fast player. He usually plays on the right side, but he can also play in the center, and he has excellent dribbling skills. However, the high transfer fee of 70 million euros (about 113.6 billion won) set by AS Monaco and agents who are difficult to negotiate is a stumbling block, he said.

With Savinho also difficult to recruit, and Aklouche's difficulty in negotiations has increased considerably, Tottenham is starting to look at Lee Kang-in, who has a relatively low transfer fee and is easy to recruit if he pays a certain transfer fee. The fact that Son Heung-min's departure could significantly reduce the Asian market's share has also become a consideration, according to reporter Castle.

He added "Another player Tottenham certainly contacted is Lee Kang-in of PSG. This is a conversation that has continued since the beginning of the summer, and I understand that he asked how much it would cost to recruit him, who was a bench resource at PSG. PSG are willing to keep him, but if the player himself receives an attractive offer and the transfer fee is appropriate, they may also consider selling him on the condition of time to recruit a replacement," he said. Currently, the amount PSG wants to sell Lee Kang-in is estimated to be 50 million euros (about 81.1 billion won).

In addition, reporter Castle said, `After sending Son Heung-min to LA FC, we can understand why Tottenham Chairman Daniel Levy is interested in recruiting Lee Kang-in. Since the interest accumulated in the Korean market has been greatly reduced, it makes commercial sense to immediately recruit another Korean star player. Lee Kang-in's transfer fee is 50 million euros, which is a cheaper option than Akliush or Savinho. Before the end of this transfer window, it is clear that Tottenham will definitely move in this position."

Even after Eze's recruitment was canceled, coach Frank showed confidence that the recruitment of players would proceed unconditionally before the transfer market ended. Leading reporters claim that Tottenham is aiming for Akliuche and Como1907's Niko Pas after Eze, so rumors of Lee Kang-in being recruited are still cautious.

If Lee Kang-in wears a Tottenham uniform, this will be unprecedented in Korean soccer history. Until now, there have been no cases where Koreans have replaced Korean players who have become legends of Premier League big clubs.
