■ Several top Premier League clubs targeting cut-price move for South Korea's Kim Young-gwon



The centre-back, who Marcello Lippi once recommended to Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United, is out of contract in December with Chinese Super League champions Guangzhou Evergrande.

And Kim, 25, is available for around £750,000 which has alerted Southampton, Sunderland, Swansea and Celtic.

Former Italy coach Lippi was in charge of Guangzhou when he told ex-United boss Fergie about Kim. In an interview, Lippi later revealed: "I spoke with Ferguson about him. He could definitely play for Manchester United."




Lippi, who won the World Cup with Italy in 2006, was Guangzhou boss for two years before announcing his retirement from club coaching last November and becoming technical director.

After installing former Italy captain Fabio Cannavaro as coach, Lippi quit Guangzhou in February.

But Cannavaro's reign ended abruptly this week when he was replaced by former Brazil and Chelsea boss Luiz Felipe Scolari.
