Arsenal targets Bayern's Kim Min-jae amid injury concerns for January
Summary

Arsenal is considering a move for Bayern Munich center-back Kim Min-jae as the January transfer window approaches.

However, reports suggest Bayern is reluctant to sell Kim, viewing him as a vital part of their squad. Bayern is also set to discuss Kim's future, as he has a contract running until 2028.
