Napoli are probably up there as one of the most in-form teams in Europe where they are unbeaten in all competitions (16 games) including the Champions League and are flying high at the top of Serie A & Kim has been a MAJOR reason for it...
When Napoli signed Kim Min-Jae centre-back signed from Fenerbahce to replace Koulibaly there was enormous pressure on him and big shoes to fill as Koulibaly was a rock for Napoli for the better part of a decade but Kim has stepped in seamlessly and the Napoli defence hasn’t missed a step.
At 6’3 he's got a strong presence and has the physicality to deal with any aerial battle which will stand him in good stead in the PL.
For his size he is surprisingly nimble on his feet and can keep up with some of the quickest players in the league.
Kim has almost no physical weakness; speed, strength, aerial ability — he is flawless.
He's top 5 in Serie A for:
interceptions
blocked shots
clearances
aerials won
What is even more amazing is how easy he has made it look, without any sort of adaptation period he is already one of the best defenders in Serie A, and if he carries on like this, could become one of the best in the world with his current trajectory
Arguably Kim’s best ability is his composure, whether he is one on one with an attacker or has the ball and is being pressured by an opposing player.
His ability to remain calm in tough situations is what separates him from other defenders.
On the ball, his ability to break the lines with good passes has helped change defence into attack in an instant for Napoli on various occasions.
Kim was named Serie A player of the month for September and rightly so.
Napoli won 5 out 5 games in September and only conceded 3 goals in all competitions and hasn’t conceded more than 1 in any game.
Should Manchester United try to sign Kim Min-jae? Let me know what you think in the comments...
