Tottenham Hotspur could be offered the chance to sign a defender they have been interested in for a number of years this summer, and Heung-min Son knows him well.The shortcomings of the Tottenham first-team squad were clear for all to see last season. Injuries across every area meant it was a rare sight for Ange Postecoglou to field a full-strength team and this had consequences, as Spurs finished 17th in the Premier League.The centre of defence was a key problem for Tottenham and it showed. Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven were often unavailable, leading to Spurs having the fifth-worst defensive record in the league, conceding 65 goals.

If he leaves the club, signing a centre-back will be a priority. A new addition in this position would be Spurs’ second of the transfer window, as Kevin Danso made his Spurs move permanent when the window opened.Photo by Alex Grimm/Getty ImagesTottenham could sign Kim Min-jae from Bayern MunichAccording to TBR Football, Spurs could look to bring South Korean international Kim Min-jae to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The defender has been offered to the North London side, as well as other Premier League clubs, including Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City. This is because Jonathan Tah has joined Bayern from Bayer Leverkusen, meaning one of Kim or Dayot Upamecano could leave the club. However, Upamecano could be about to sign a new contract, making Kim the more likely option to depart the Bundesliga champions.Kim reportedly wants to play in the English top flight and contact has already been made with a number of clubs. Tottenham, along with Chelsea and Manchester United, have all been keeping an eye on Kim since before he joined Fenerbahce four years ago.Bayern signed Kim from Napoli for £51 million, making him the most expensive Asian player in history. However, the German outfit could be willing to lose money on the 28-year-old if it means sealing his exit.Kim Min-jae would be a good signing for Spurs on every frontKim has played his part for Bayern this season, making 27 appearances and keeping nine clean sheets in the Bundesliga. He also appeared 13 times in the Champions League, as his side reached the quarter-finals, before being eliminated by eventual finalists Inter Milan. He is not only a top player, but a favourable option for Daniel Levy due to his country of origin. Spurs have built up a huge Korean fanbase thanks to Heung-min Son, but his days at Spurs could be numbered, with his contract expiring next summer. Some supporters may remain loyal to Spurs even after their hero leaves, but there are no guarantees.Tottenham signed Yang Min-hyeok last July, but he is unlikely to feature in the first team next season, having recently been on loan at QPR in the Championship. Whereas, Kim could go straight into Tottenham’s starting lineup. He would be a strong signing for the club for reasons both on and off the pitch.READ MORE – Tottenham must move for Bayern Munich midfielder Joao Palhinha this summerThe post Tottenham could sign Asia’s most expensive player – and he knows Heung-min Son well appeared first on Spurs Web.
