Still keeping an eye on big clubs

Lee Kang-in 23, Paris Saint-Germain, the growth plate of the Korean national soccer team, is attracting scouts' attention at the Asian Cup.

In an article titled "Three Players Arsenal Should Recruit at the Asian Cup" on the 18th, England's "The Hard Task" selected Japanese national soccer team midfielder Takefusa Kubo 23, Real Sociedad and Iranian striker Mehdi Taremi 32, Porto as notable players at the 2023 Asian Football Confederation AFC Asian Cup along with Lee Kang-in.

The media said, "Arnal is competing tremendously for the Premier League and Champions League title," adding, "Coach Mikel Arteta wants a player who can prove its value again this time, like Leandro Trossar, Jakub Kibior and Jorginho, who were recruited in the transfer market in January."

As for Lee Kang-in, he said, "I am a star of the Korean national team and the Paris Saint-Germain PSG," adding, "It is a potential midfielder option." They say Arteta is a resource that is needed to strengthen the left midfielder.

It reminded me that Lee Kang-in had a noticeable influence on PSG after his strong performance against Mallorca last summer. It was emphasized that PSG coach Luis Enrique consistently used Lee Kang-in as an attacking midfielder in a 4-3-3 system similar to Arteta's.

Lee Kang-in has already made his value known to Paris fans with three goals and two assists in 16 games at PSG, and many clubs expected to keep an eye on him and the Korean game.

In particular, "Lee Kang-in could emerge as an interesting option for Arteta, who is currently expected to change a few players," he said. "For example, he may replace Emile Smith Rowe 24, who may be sold under the Financial Fair Play FFP regulations."

"Lee Kang-in's experience at PSG can be helpful. Therefore, he can compete with Fabio Vieira 24," he said, adding, "Lee is unlikely to sign with Arsenal this month as he can still emerge as a clear summer contract for big Premier League clubs."

Lee Kang-in started in the first group E match of the 2023 AFC Asian Cup against Bahrain on the 15th and scored multiple goals, leading South Korea to a 3-1 victory. Lee Kang-in proved to be a PSG star by scoring two goals in the second half of the 1-1 match. 스포츠토토

Lee Kang-in became a hero by scoring two goals with a fantastic technique in the second half of the match when Korea was 1-1. Lee Kang-in's super technique, which made the defender stupid, was beyond the limits of an Asian player. Lee Kang-in, who became the main player in PSG after La Liga, was simply at a different level.

As for Gubo, he said, "As Arteta wants to strengthen both sides, I believe he will be able to ease the burden on Bukayo Saka 23 and Gabriel Martinelli 23. He said he can rotate three players including Gubo.

"Many teams want to sign him, so he has shown enough ability to compete in the best teams," the media said. "Gubo can be an exceptional option for Arsenal and only needs to pay a buyout clause of 60 million euros about 87.8 billion won."

Gubo said Manchester United Manchester United is seriously considering recruiting, and Tottenham could also be a recruitment option that can be considered if Timo Werner leaves after his loan.

Taremi said, "We can pay attention as a temporary option to solve the goal-making power," adding, "We are connecting with Manchester United." He claimed that he can sign a loan contract and that he could be a great backup for Gabriel Jesus considering his age.

World Class 'Monster' Kim Min-jae

"Monster" Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich) was the best in the world in handling air balls.

The International Sports Institute (CIES) under FIFA on Thursday announced the rankings of center backs around the world's airball handling capabilities. Based on players who played more than 900 minutes in this season's professional league, the rankings are based on the number of competitions in the airball, the percentage of players who won the ball, and the level of the game.

Pirhill VanDijk of Liverpool topped the list. VanDijk scored 93.0 points to become the center back who is most capable of handling balls in the air.

Kim Min-jae was second to Pandake. 스포츠토토

Kim Min-jae won an average of 4.06 balls in the air during the 90 minutes. He had a 69 percent chance of winning the ball. He scored 92.2 points. He ranks first in the German Bundesliga. Dhan-Axel Zagadou (Stutgart) ranked second overall in the Bundesliga, and fifth overall.

This is proof that Kim Min-jae has risen to the rank of world class. Kim Min-jae elevated SSC Napoli to the top of Serie A in Italy for the first time in 33 years during the 2022-2023 season. Even after moving to Bayern Munich, Germany, Kim boasts of his "monster" iron-fisted defense.

Danilu Pereira (Paris Saint-Germain), who turned from defensive midfielder to center back, is in third place, and Jamal Lascelles (Newcastle United) is in fourth place.

Among players playing in the Asian league, Henrik Trevisan (FC Tokyo) ranked ninth (87.4 points) overall. After Kim Min-jae, Han Long (Wuhan) of China ranked 22nd (85.0 points) overall. The best player in the K-League is Delbridge (Incheon United).

Followed by Manchester United 'twice' this Season Alone

Sergio Reguilon was absent from Tottenham Hotspur. Reguilon, who moved to Manchester United on loan in the first half of this season, will return to action in January. However, Enze Postecoglou had no intention of hiring him, and he has to leave for Brentford again.

Brentford officially announced on the club's website on the 18th, "Legilon has been loaned to Brentford from Tottenham until the end of the season. The left-back has gained a wealth of experience through Real Madrid, Sevilla, Tottenham and Atletico Madrid, and played 12 games on loan for Manchester United in the first half of this season."

Brentford manager Thomas Frank expressed great satisfaction. "It is a very good recruitment for us. We have been saying for a long time that we need a good left-back, and now we can recruit him. Legilon is a proven Premier League player, and he is the right player for us. He is very aggressive, and he has excellent crosses and left feet, which is the style we want."

"I'm very happy. I think this is the moment that I need in my career. I want to meet my teammates and play with them, and now I want to enjoy soccer on the field," Legilon said in his speech. It was regret that he had not played many matches so far, and expectations for the future.

He continued, "Coach Frank played a key role in deciding this transfer. I think it's time to play consistently now, and I think this club can give me that opportunity. I will do everything for this team for six months, but it is also important for my future." His conversation with Frank was the main driver of Regilon's transfer.

Also, he said, "I was happy after having a conversation with Frank. He knows me well. We had a lot of conversations about everything. At first, I remember talking about soccer and everything for over 40 minutes. That's very important to me because the coach knows me well and I think we can do good things together."

Lastly, "The team needs to refocus on the Premier League, and Ivan Toney (Brentford striker) is back, and I think we can do a lot of things together. There is something special about the G-Tech Community Stadium. It is a beautiful stadium, a cute stadium, and you can feel the crowd together. For me, it is a very special place in the Premier League."

Spanish left-back Reguilon grew up at Real Youth. However, it was not easy to secure a place in the first team due to his outstanding competitors. He played 14 La Liga games in the 2018-19 season, but that was it, and left for Sevilla on loan ahead of the 2019-20 season.

He exuded his value in Sevilla. He showed good performance in 31 La Liga matches, scoring two goals and helping four. In addition, he played five tournament matches in the Europa League, bolstering his team's win. It was his second trophy after winning the Club World Cup when he was playing for Real. Then, he joined Tottenham Hotspur for a fee of 30 million euros during the 2020 summer transfer window.

Contrary to expectations, he failed to stand out significantly. In his first season, he had four assists in 27 Premier League games. Tottenham fans expressed great satisfaction with this. However, it suddenly began to creak. During the 2021-22 season, Antonio Conte's appointment sparked a wind of change, and Ryan Sessegnon was appointed in the second half. Moreover, Reguilon left the club due to an injury at the end of the season.

It was just the beginning. Veteran Ivan Perisic joined the team ahead of the 2022-23 season. Reguilon has escaped the managerial plan and is finally moving to Atletico on loan. Reguilon also failed to rebound at Atletico. Reguilon underwent Tommy John surgery a week before the loan transfer and could not play until the end of October. Since then, he has played in only 12 official matches (317 minutes) during the loan period as he has a hamstring injury.

This season, he signed a loan agreement with Manchester United. According to the British newspaper The Athletic, there was no loan fee or complete transfer clause, and it was a condition that Manchester United paid the full amount of Regilon's salary. Regilon said, "We have to prepare for everything in life. It was an irresistible opportunity to represent this great club with a great history. I spoke with manager Erik ten Haq and I know what he wants from me. I am ready to play my part in the success of this team. I know I can contribute to Manchester United this season and I am ready to show my qualities as I fight for this team."

It was the same thing. After moving to Manchester United, he had a chance due to injured players in the same position, and after that, he was forced to return to the bench. Based on the Premier League, the duration of his last four games was only 7 minutes. In the end, he decided to terminate his loan agreement early. Soon, Manchester United can operate both Shaw and Malacia at the same time. That's why "rental" Regilon is no longer needed. Regilon also agreed to cancel his contract due to reduced playing time.

Tottenham Hotspur officially announced on its website on the 4th, "Legilon has returned from Manchester United. He joined Manchester United on loan at the beginning of the season and made 12 appearances." Manchester United also said, "Legilon will return to his original team, Tottenham, following the invocation of the clause on early termination of the loan. He joined on loan and made a positive contribution in the first half of the season. Luke Shaw and Tyral Malacia faithfully played a role in filling the gap between the two players while they were sidelined due to long-term injuries."

"It was great to play for Manchester United and I want to thank my club, fans, and teammates. It was an honor to play for this huge club. I wish Manchester United all the best," Regilon wrote on his personal social media.

I thought he would come back to Tottenham like that, but he didn't. "Tottenham plans to sell Reguilon or send the loan back this month," said British media outlet The Times as well as European transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano. Media outlets explained that Bournemouth, Seville and Villarreal are showing interest.

Tottenham currently has a built-in mainstay called Destiny Udoji, and options such as Ben Davies and Sessegnon also exist. With no European competition schedule, there is no need to have many players in one position.

"Core" Udoji recently signed a long-term renewal of his contract. Tottenham officially announced on its website on the 13th of last month that "Udoji has signed a new contract that runs through the summer of 2030." In this regard, Romano said, "Udoji has extended his basic contract until June 2029, and a one-year extension option is included."

Udoji is a side defender who can play both fullback and wingback. In the 2021-22 season, Udoji was caught on the radar of a big club as he showed off his aggressive talent with five goals and three assists in 35 Italian Serie A matches for Udinese. Instead of paying a low fee of £15 million (W25 billion), Tottenham sent Udinese on a season-long loan.

Udoji has joined Tottenham since this summer and has accumulated one goal and two assists while playing 17 Premier League games. It was a perfect resource for manager Enze Postecoglou's "offensive football," and he first opened the scoring against Newcastle United. The existing contract was until June 2027, and this renewal has extended it for another three years. If the option is activated, it will be until 2030, and he will be responsible for Tottenham's side for the next seven years.

Udoji said, "I'm so happy. It's a great pleasure for me to come to this club and I'm glad to have this opportunity. From the first day I came here, the players, coaches, and the whole club welcomed me, so I felt comfortable like home. Everyone in the club respects me, the players, and everyone."

He continued, "The Premier League is very tough, physical, and intense. The staff is doing a big job every day, and it's showing up on the field. It's the most difficult league to prepare for, mentally and physically, but it's been a great experience. I'm learning new things every day, and I'm working with great players."

Reguilon's final destination was Brentford. Brentford had a gap in the left defense, and they reviewed Reguilon, which just came up for sale. Reguilon also preferred to stay on the same stage, and accepted Brentford's offer.

It does not include a complete transfer clause. The deal is a simple loan agreement, and he will return to Tottenham at the end of the 2023-24 season.

As a result, it is impossible to see the bromance between Regilon and Son Heung-min. Regilon is a famous "handflower." They are close friends, and whenever Son scored on the field, they participated in most of the ceremonies. Just looking at Son Heung-min makes me feel like honey.

First, a photo was released in the second leg of the Europa League round of 32 against Wolfsburg in the 2020-21 season, which made Tottenham fans' hearts pound, with Reguilon touching Son's head. Son was talking to Ali while Reguilon was passing his hair behind him. At a scene like this, Tottenham fans couldn't help but smile. Fans gave thumbs up to the left-hander's affectionate behavior, saying, "I love this combination," "So lovely," "Give Son Heung-min his veil head," "Let's be together forever," and "We are impressive friends." 토토사이트

Reguilon went on to post a photo together in the locker room with the words, "Brother, I love you a lot! Congratulations (Hattrick)!" as Son Heung-min scored a hat-trick against Aston Villa in the 2021-22 season.

When asked, "Did you have any EPL idols when you were young?" in an interview with Brian Hill, Reguilon replied, "Yes. I was a big fan of Son Heung-min." Surprised Hill asked, "Really? Sonny?" to which Reguilon smiled, saying, "Yes. I loved Son Heung-min."

During the pre-season, he posted a photo of himself putting his arms around his shoulders, saying, "I missed you. Son Ronaldo." Both of them were smiling. Son also shared the message.

There is also Seo Geon-chang, Song Eun-beom, Lee Jae-won, and 'Small FA Market'

A lot of attention is paid to the FA market, which costs billions of won, but it is also noteworthy that a large number of veterans who once dominated the league came out. It is difficult to expect as much performance as before right now, but it may produce unexpected results due to its "low cost and high efficiency."

In this offseason, multiple veterans with high name values came to the market. This is because there is a movement to lower the overall ransom due to the upper limit of the total salary cap (salary cap) of the team's annual salary introduced this year, and some teams have begun "rebuilding."

The team that won the championship released infielder Seo Geon-chang (34) and right-hander Song Eun-beom (39). Both failed to contribute much in the first division this season, but LG felt uncomfortable holding onto them as the team won the title.

SSG Landers, which is embracing a wave of changes including managerial change, released veteran catcher Lee Jae-won (35) and left-hander Lim Joon-seop (34). Lee Jae-won signed an FA contract after contributing to his team's victory in 2018, but continued to suffer a slump, and Lim Joon-seop also failed to show impressive performance in the pursuit group this season.

Hanwha Eagles outfielder Noh Soo-kwang (33), pitcher Kim Jae-young (30) and KT Wiz infielder Lee Sang-ho (34) have also been frequently seen in the first division.

Most of them are over 30 lines and their skills are coming down from the peak, so it is not easy to expect a rebound.

However, all of them were players who once played in the first division.

Among them, Seo Kun-chang had 200 hits and even the MVP during the Nexen Heroes (now Kiwoom), and Song Eun-beom was also a member of the "SK Dynasty."

Lee Jae-won was also a league A-class catcher who once won more than 6 billion won in FA contracts.

When motivation and a new environment are in place, it is worth looking forward to the "last flame."

There are not a few cases where they found a new team after the release and succeeded in rebounding. Lim Chang-min (38), who declared an FA this offseason, is a representative example. 토토사이트

Lim Chang-min played as a closing pitcher for the NC Dinos and was notified of his release after the 2021 season. After that, he nestled in the Doosan Bears in 2022, but was released again, and moved to Kiwoom ahead of this season.

Lim Chang-min, 38, played perfectly as Lee Nang, hoping to play Kiwoom's closing pitcher. He had two wins, two losses and 26 saves with a 2.51 ERA in 51 games. Without him, Kiwoom, which was already the lowest, would have been worse.

And after the end of the season, Lim Chang-min declared himself an FA. This year, his annual salary was only 100 million won, and his FA rating is also C-rated, so several teams are looking to recruit him. Despite his age, the price seems to be rising as competition grows.

Veteran right-hander Kim Jin-sung (38) is also a similar example to Lim Chang-min. Kim Jin-sung, who was released from NC after the end of 2021, joined LG ahead of the 2022 season and succeeded in rebounding. After becoming an FA a year earlier than Lim Chang-min, he remained with LG for a total of 700 million won for two years in the last offseason, and made a big contribution to his team's victory this year.

There is no guarantee that Seo Geon-chang, Song Eun-beom and Lee Jae-won will not be able to rebound either. Teams that recruit are not burdened because they do not have to spend a lot of money. Will the "second Lim Chang-min, Kim Jin-sung" be able to come out among them.

Players are very excited about Interest

Seru Girasi is excited by United's interest.

The German media Bild said on the 2nd, "Manchester United is interested in Girasi. Girash is one of several striker options United are currently closely monitoring. And Girash is excited about Manchester United's interest," he reported.

Girasi is a key striker in the team that saved Stuttgart in the German Bundesliga from the relegation zone last season. Having played for FC Cologne in the Bundesliga, he played well in the French leagues Amiens and Stadren before returning to the Bundesliga in 2022 and moving to Stuttgart on loan.

Since coming on loan in September, he has scored 14 goals and two assists in 28 games, taking part in 30 percent of the team's total score of 45. In particular, he scored 12 goals in the league alone, tying for seventh in the Bundesliga.

He is a target man with excellent athletic ability, 187cm tall with excellent header ability, a high-level striker who competes with the opponent's defense and creates opportunities for the team, and also has speed, so he is shunned by the opponent's striker.

Girash has been playing literally crazy this season. He has an xG value of 8.66 but has 15 goals far beyond that. He also scores goals in almost every Bundesliga game.

In the first round against Bochum, he scored two goals to lead the team to victory, and in the second round against Leipzig, he scored one, albeit losing. He scored two goals in the third round against Freiburg and scored a hat-trick in the fourth round against Mainz.

He scored a 2-1 come-from-behind goal with a right-footed mid-range shot over the defender as he made a turn after receiving a ball from Chris Furich, who drove from the side to the center in the 31st minute of the first half when he was drawing 1-1 in the fifth round game.

He's not done here. He helped his team win in the second minute of the second half by scoring an exquisite lobbing shot over the keeper's height to make it 3-1 after receiving a penetrating pass from Pascal Stenzel. Currently, he has 15 goals and one assist in 10 league games.

Manchester United is aiming for him like that. According to the media, Manchester United are interested in him. He can be recruited at a very low price because the buyout amount triggered in the winter transfer market is only 17.5 million euros (about 24.8 billion won). 배트맨토토

Manchester United have yet to make an official offer, but other clubs may soon submit offers as they are also keeping an eye on Girash. AS Roma, AC Milan and Newcastle United are also interested in Girasi. Contrary to expectations, Girash will not rule out a winter transfer.

No club has officially approached Stuttgart yet. However, behind the scenes, consultants explore the situation and try to present something that can attract Kirashi.
