Chelsea and Tottenham target shines yet again – summer move on the cards? | OneFootball

Bayern Munich picked up their third win in a row after beating Werder Bremen 3-0 in the Bundesliga on Saturday, away from home. 

Kim Min-jae started the game for Bayern, and the South Korean made the best use of the opportunity presented to him.

Chelsea and Tottenham are thought to be interested in the centre-back, who produced a cracking performance against Bremen.

Christian Falk told CFBayern that both Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur have shown interest in Kim Min-jae, and they have kept him in their shortlist.

Spurs could be looking to sign a new centre-back next summer, but a lot will depend on who their next permanent manager will be.

Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven are Tottenham’s first-choice centre-backs, but they need more top-quality defenders in their ranks, with the likes of Kevin Danso and Radu Dragusin failing to make huge impacts.

Chelsea are well-stocked in their defensive department, but they are keen to add another quality defender after missing out on Jeremy Jacquet.

Both Spurs and Chelsea could be closely following Min-jae’s situation. The defender is happy at Bayern, but he is their third-choice defender after Dayot Upamecano and Jonathan Tah.

Min-jae has still made 10 starts in the Bundesliga, and a further four appearances have come from the bench. He has also made six appearances in the Champions League.

Kim Min-jae impressed against Werder Bremen

The 29-year-old defender made two interceptions and five clearances, and impressed with his contribution overall.

He blocked one shot and made three recoveries. In terms of passing, Min-jae made 97 passes with 94% accuracy.

The defender only lost possession six times, and Spurs and Chelsea scouts will be thrilled by such a commanding display.

After Upamecano signed a new deal at the club, Bayern could be open to selling Kim Min-jae next summer if they receive a handsome transfer fee.

While Min-jae is happy at Bayern, a potential move to either Spurs or Chelsea cannot be completely ruled out.
