Lee Kang-in's Next Club Odds: 2025 Summer Window

Arsenal are significant odds-on favourites to sign Kang-in at the moment. We're not quite sure where the bookies confidence comes from, though. There is little on the grapevine that a deal is close and most of the media noise is links to other clubs; we'll come on to those. 

In addition to that, a move to Arsenal doesn't fit for a couple of other reasons either. Firstly, one of Kang-in's big gripes at PSG has been a lack of game time. He has made plenty of appearances over the season but only averaged less than an hours action per game. '

Is a move to Arsenal likely to improve that? His primary position puts him up against Bukayo Saka for competition; it's hard to see him ousting Saka for regular starts. 

The other factor is that Arsenal are closing in on Martin Zubimendi for £50m, and are going to splash big money on a striker. Do they have the cash to bring in Kang-in too?

Arsenal aren't the only North London club to feature at the top of the Kang-in next club odds. Spurs are an 8/1 shot. There is a gigantic elephant in the room when you talk about any potential for this deal to happen, though. 

South Korean teammates Kang-in and Tottenham club captain Son Heung-Min famously had a physical altercation on the eve of the Asian Cup semi-finals last year. Son has played down the spat but a dislocated finger and comments from then manager, ironically former Spurs forward Jurgen Klinsmann, suggest the duo aren't the best of friends. 

Put that to one side and from a footballing angle, the move would make sense. Kang-in operates in a manner Tottenham fans would appreciate; he improves their starting XI and deepens their squad options ahead of next season.

For him, he'd be a key player in a team that has Champions League football next season. That Son dynamic is hard to look past though given his standing at the club.

Whilst Son and Kang-in don't see eye to eye, that isn't true for all of the PSG man's South Korean teammates. Kim Min-Jae could have an influence on Bayern Munich's pursuit of the winger; the two are said to get along well.

Bayern have enjoyed a solid first season under Vincent Kompany but they'll want more than just Bundesliga titles. Kang-in would definitely help with that given his ability to manipulate the ball in tight spaces, a particular benefit with how often the Bavarians come up against a low block. 

With Thomas Muller having announced his departure already and Leroy Sane heavily tipped to leave, an attacking arrival does feel likely.

At 25/1, Man United are rank outsiders to land Kang-in. Based on the rumour mill though, they are very much in the conversation for the player. It makes the value look attractive, if nothing else.

Certainly from a transfer deal between the clubs it adds up. They won't be rivals next season and both parties may well have something the other wants. United could look to utilise Marcus Rashford as a makeweight. Ruben Amorim wants him gone. PSG have been strongly linked in the past and it would ease financial concerns that United are juggling as they look to rebuild. 

The big question mark will be whether the player will be interested in giving up European football for at least one season. When you consider who Man United are though, and the appeal the "brand" could have on Kang-in, you can see why a move might appeal.

He would be nailed on for a starting spot as well; playing time is known to be a big thing for him too.
