Tottenham, Wolverhampton, Newcastle, and Burnley showed interest in Spain's Mallorca. Even after nesting at PSG, EPL clubs did not lose their eyes on Lee Kang-in. In the summer of 2024, the possibility of Newcastle's proposal was discussed. However, this is the first time that it has been reported through the mouth of a leading reporter.
If the club you want is Arsenal, it will be a hot topic. Arsenal is one of the most prestigious representatives of the EPL. In recent seasons, he has also been a strong team representing the EPL along with Manchester City and Liverpool. Recently, Bukayo Saka and Ethan Nwaneri left Arsenal due to injuries. Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossar are in the doldrums. There is an urgent need to strengthen the position of wingers and attacking midfielders. Lee Kang-in, who can play all the positions, is bound to be an attractive recruitment option. If he wears an Arsenal uniform, he can also expect to face Tottenham's Son Heung-min in the 'North London Derby'. The showdown between Arsenal and Tottenham is one of the fiercest derbies in the EPL and is of high interest every game. If the two players wear different uniforms and face off in the derby game, fans' interest will inevitably soar.
The problem is PSG's attitude. As for PSG, it is difficult to prematurely abandon Lee Kang-in, who is playing as the team's core this season and has the highest number of uniforms sold within the team. McNicholas says 'PSG does not actively consider selling, but highly values Lee Kang-in on and off the field. All transactions will have to be double the 22 million euros (about 66 billion won), which was the minimum amount of Lee Kang-in. Arsenal will also be at the negotiating table if they consider a loan with a full transfer option. Reporter Loin Tanji of L'Equipe, who is familiar with the news of PSG, also said that `PSG has no intention of selling Lee Kang-in.' Tanji drew the line saying, `PSG has received several inquiries, but he has no intention of breaking up with Lee Kang-in for the time being.'
