Tottenham are ready to battle Chelsea in the race to sign Bayern Munich centre-back Kim Min-jae.
Both sides will look to strengthen at the back this summer, and CFBayern suggest the South Korean is a target for the Premier League pair.
The 29-year-old has made 10 league starts for Bayern this season, and was imperious at the back in Saturday’s 3-0 win at Werder 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.
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.
