£20m ‘monster’ has serious offer from Tottenham, more developments expected soon - report

Turkish source Fanatik have now made an interesting Tottenham Hotspur transfer claim involving Fenerbache defender Kim Min-jae.

Under former boss Jose Mourinho, it was claimed that Spurs seriously held an interest in bringing the South Korea international to the Premier League in 2020.

Kim, who has the reputation for being a ‘monster‘ in his homeland, allegedly attracted attention from the Lilywhites with reports even claiming that the centre-back wanted a move to north London.

Recently, Spurs head coach Antonio Conte has been linked with a move as the Italian reportedly set his sights on the signing of a central defender this summer.

As per Fanatik, it is believed that the ‘offers’ from Spurs, Everton and Napoli are ‘serious’ to sign Kim and it is ‘expected’ that there will be more ‘important developments’ at the end of this season.

However, if transfer chief Fabio Paratici wants to bring him to the Premier League, it is believed that Spurs will have to pay the €23 million (£20m) clause in his contract.

The Athletic claim chairman Daniel Levy is willing to significantly invest in bringing a central defender to N17 and we believe Fenerbache’s star man could be a shrewd option.

The 25-year-old has been a truly colossal presence for his team in the Turkish Super Lig, averaging more clearances and interceptions per 90 than any of his teammates (WhoScored).

Playing more league minutes than any Fenerbache player, he’s also an untouchable, durable and crucial player in their starting eleven.

To top it all off, at just 25, Spurs could sign a really dependable centre-half for years to come.

While he is arguably yet to be tested in a truly elite division, for just £20m and no negotiations, he could be worth the financial risk.
