\n

Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> are starting to make plans for upcoming transfer windows, having made a disastrous start to the Premier League<\/a> season.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After the opening five matches, Roberto De Zerbi<\/a>‘s side are rooted to the bottom of the table, and they were on the receiving end of a 3-2 defeat at home against Aston Villa last time out, in which they looked defensively fragile, despite spending<\/a> a lot of money to strengthen their backline.<\/p>\n

The visitors were simply more clinical, racing into a 3-0 lead, despite only creating two big chances in the entire match, and the result leaves De Zerbi with a lot of work to do, considering his side are already seven points adrift of the top seven.<\/p>\n

Spurs’ attack has arguably been a bigger issue, given that they have failed to score in four of their five Premier League matches this term, but they are now looking to make another high-profile addition to their defence.<\/p>\n

According to a report from Spain, Tottenham have now expressed interest in signing Bayern Munich defender Kim Min-jae<\/a>, but there could be competition in the race for his signature, with Aston Villa also keen, while AC Milan have already lodged an enquiry.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, the German side are willing to sanction a departure, and they have set a price tag of \u20ac40m (\u00a334m), with a sale deemed to be highly likely, meaning the South Korean could be an attainable target for Spurs.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old is a seasoned international, collecting 84 caps for South Korea, and he has lifted a total of ten trophies for club and country across his career, which showcases that he has a winning mentality.<\/p>\n

Paris Saint-Germain star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia<\/a> has dubbed the centre-back as “extraordinary”, and an average of 8.9 defensive contributions per 90 across 25 Bundesliga appearances last season was the highest number in the Bayern Munich squad.<\/p>\n

\n What Son Heung-min has said about Kim Min-jae<\/strong>

Former Tottenham star Son Heung-min<\/a> is also a keen admirer of his compatriot, saying: “(Kim) Min-jae is a player I really like and cherish. He is becoming one of the best players in the world, and I am confident that he will become one again. I have never once doubted Min-jae.”<\/em><\/p>\n

However, Spurs strengthened heavily at centre-back during the summer transfer window, signing Jan Paul van Hecke and Marcos Senesi, so they should only make a move for the \u00a3197,000-a-week<\/a> Bayern defender if their new signings fail to make an impact between now and January.<\/p>\n
