Gunners dream of Kim Min-jae/Bayern's Korean star on Arsenal's shopping list

Kim Min-jae has become Arsenal's favorite player.

According to his magazine "Sports Three", Arsenal has added the name of Kim Min-jae, Bayern Munich's Korean defender, to his list of options. The Premier League champions are monitoring the player's condition as the Bavarians prepare to hold talks with the player over his future. The German newspaper Bild has reported that Maurizio Mikli, head of Arsenal's talent search, has suggested Kim's name to the managers of this London club.

Mikli knows this Korean defender well. During his career in Napoli, he played a role in the transfer of this player to this Italian club. Meanwhile, Bayern are planning talks with Kim about his next destination. This defender's contract is valid until 2028, and his departure in the January transfer window seems unlikely.

According to Bild, Munich are expected to have a quiet winter window. Bayern will enter the transfer market only if there is a suitable opportunity to attract the replacement of Luis Diaz, the Colombian winger. The club has no plans to recruit a right back or strengthen other positions.

Bayern is third in the Bundesliga with 11 points from five matches. This team has three wins and two draws and is two points behind Freiburg and Borussia Dortmund. Augsburg stopped Bayern with a 2-2 draw in the last week of this tournament. The match saw the fastest goal in Bundesliga history, scored by Augsburg's Ruben Fellhauer.

The conditions in European competitions have not been much better. Bayern has won four points from two matches in the European Champions League; This team first beat Norway's Budo Glimt with a score of 0-5 and then tied with another Norwegian team, Viking, 3-3.
