? Naver: Tottenham have now agreed a fee of €17m (£15.4m) to sign Beijing Guoan defender Kim Min-jae. Kim will now fly to London to complete the deal with both parties confident.

With money supposedly tight, I'm a bit wary of us spending £15m of our budget on a relative unknown CB that I'd imagine won't be expected to be anything other than backup initially. Looking at him I can see the merits of it so if he comes I hope our scouts have unearthed a gem. Maybe the deal is structured quite favourably, fees are always reported on the high end from the selling side.

£15M for a young high-potential player with 30 caps for his senior national side is a relatively cheap risk in today's market. I'm all for this type of signing personally

From that video on page 2, he does look like a Mourinho dream. Strong, fast, powerful, decent distribution etc. Looks like he plays right back as well?

SC: we have shit scouts and never unearth good players before they’re beyond our grasp.

Spurs about to sign relatively unknown player with good local reputation but no more in a position where we need reinforcements.

SC: Who the fuck is he? Typical Spurs not willing to spend to sign a proven quantity.

Nope. It’s a poor translation. The article doesn’t mean he’s literally flying to London. But of course the twitter aggregate accounts don’t care.

What does the article actually say out of interest?

I felt like there was some hypocrisy on my part when I posted in here, but I stand by my concern on this one. My issue here is the suggestion that we have next to nothing to spend this summer, if so a relatively small fee of £15m by modern standards could actually be a significant chunk of our spending.

If we are looking for a 4th choice CB maybe it would be better to pick up an established pro on the cheap under these specific circumstances. We already have a potential prodigy in Japh whilst Dier and Sanchez are both still relatively young. The extra £10-15m saved on a backup CB could be a significant difference in quality of an acquisition in a key area such as RB.

Hopefully the way it's structured (not much up front and loaded with add ons) means it really is a cheap punt after all and I'm over-reacting.

Hopefully we are pulling a bit of an Arsenal from last summer and our budget is higher than we are letting on.

all over this type of signing.

i don't know the player and can't comment on his ability, but good price, good scouting and getting a player before he potentially tears it up at a lesser club. Like a bit of scouting.
