CLUBS are queuing up to sign Napoli centre-back Kim Min-jae.
But they all trail Erik ten Hag's Manchester United, who are Betfair's favourites to clinch his signature before the transfer window closes in September.

The betting firm have cut United's odds to 8/11 from 2/1 late last week as the pursuit steps up a notch.
Min-jae has quickly established himself as one of the top central defenders in Italy after arriving from Fenerbahce for £15million last summer.
He replaced Chelsea's Kalidou Koulibaly in the heart of Napoli's defence, and helped guide the club to their first Serie A title since 1990.
The South Korea international, who's been dubbed The Monster, is contracted until June 2025 with the option to extend by a further two years.
However, the 26-year-old has a relatively affordable release clause of £43m, and is believed to fancy a move to England.
And it's now reported he's said goodbye to his Napoli team mates and is already preparing a move to Old Trafford this summer.

The Red Devils are considered favourites at odds of 8/11 with Ten Hag eager to bolster his defensive options.
Harry Maguire has come under plenty of scrutiny over the past couple of seasons, and many expect him to leave Old Trafford.
Newcastle were as big as 14/1 at the beginning of the month and are now into second favourites at 5/1.
With Champions League football to come in the new campaign, Eddie Howe will be desperate for cover at centre back with Fabian Schar and Sven Botman playing almost every game last season.
PSG come next at 5/1, ahead of Bayern Munich at 13/2.
Liverpool are 15/2 and Barcelona 11/1, with Manchester City's price drifting out to 12/1 outsiders.
