Asian Football: Europe Wants a Piece of the ‘Monster’

The future of football is in Asia. We’ve heard that phrase somewhere before. But as more and more Asian players are getting noticed by European teams, this is definitely a telling sign that Asian Football’s quality is on the rise.

One of the rising stars of Asian football, Kim Min-Jae, is drawing interest from clubs across Europe and is looking to move to the English Premier League. Everton has already indicated their intentions amongst other English clubs, Watford and Southampton.

The South Korean International, nicknamed ‘the Monster’, has been in the scope of clubs such as RB Leipzig, Lazio, PSV Eindhoven and Porto. But Kim is more interested in moving to England. His current team, Beijing Guoan, has already placed a price tag of £13.5m.

He’s currently made 34 appearances for his current team, and has 30 caps for South Korea where he scored 3 goals.
