On the 7th (Korea time), the British Daily Express mentioned the commonality with Tottenham's recruitment of Son Heung-min in an article on Arsenal's recruitment of Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain).
The media said, "'Tottenham's recruitment of a 23-year-old Korean winger named Son Heung-min in 2015 proved to be a clever transfer deal.'" Now, Arsenal, Tottenham's North London rival, can recruit players of the same age, position, and nationality. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, who hopes to find new options, is tracking down Paris Saint-Germain star Lee Kang-in, according to the report.

Citing a report by sports outlet The Athletic, the Daily Express said Lee Kang-in plays regularly under PSG coach Luis Enrique but is `open to new challenges.'
The media said PSG is not active in the transfer of Lee Kang-in, who was hired from Mallorca with a transfer fee of £18 million in the summer of 2023, but hopes to earn at least twice the transfer fee if an interested club appears.
Like Tottenham's Son Heung-min, Lee Kang-in had a huge impact on PSG in the Asian market. PSG said it was satisfied with Lee Kang-in's performance on and off the field, adding that the Arsenal leadership is burdened by Lee Kang-in's transfer fee of £37 million and is interested in the option of full recruitment after pre-lease.

According to the outlet, Arsenal are looking for a winger in the winter transfer window to fill the void of the long-term injured 'Ace winger' Bukayo Saka. Athletic's Nico Williams is also mentioned as a candidate.
Meanwhile, according to 'HardTackle', Lee Kang-in is also attracting attention from EPL clubs such as Manchester United and Newcastle.
Lee Kang-in has scored six goals and two assists in 24 games, including the Cup tournament this season. He started in the Trophy de Champion against AS Monaco on the 6th and contributed to the championship through a 1-0 victory. It is the fifth championship in his career.
