However, the report goes on to state that the player would prefer a move to Lazio and, unless Spurs act fast, the Italian club should have no issues in trying to sign him.
This report was relayed to Spurs fans by Hotspur Related and it had lots of them talking.

I knew one of our players would get around to pressing eventually

Would make sense that we haven’t signed him yet considering how dismal his forward pressing was yesterday.

Do you want Spurs to sign Kim Min-jae?
No, he's not good enough
Yes, he's a good player
Need him to pressure him into signing a striker and a LB and a midfielder too
