What everyone knew about Minsu Kim before Rangers transfer success as inside information revealed
Minsu Kim has lived up to expectations at Rangers so far.
The Gers spent a hefty sum to sign the 20-year-old winger in the summer transfer window and he has been a game-changer for Derek McInnes.
The South Korea international has shown his versatility, impressing as a number 10 and on the right-wing.
Kim has yet to score or assist for the Ibrox club, but his qualities have been evident to everyone.
The young forward has started in five of the Glaswegian outfit's last six matches, highlighting the Scottish manager's faith in him.
At Girona, there was always a lot of belief in the attacker and he's now proving it in Govan.
How Minsu Kim has maintained reputation at Rangers
Kim is now worth almost double at Rangers after a strong start to life at his new club.
Yangel Herrera, who played for Girona between 2022 and 2025, knows first-hand what the youngster is capable of.
The Venezuelan midfielder, now at Real Sociedad, revealed everyone at the Catalan club knew the South Korean winger's potential from a young age.
Kim joined Girona's youth team in 2022 before featuring for the senior team and eventually impressing on loan at Andorra last season.
The forward has ensured he's on the right path to develop into a top player capable of playing for the biggest teams in Europe.
Speaking before South Korea's friendly game with Venezuela, Herrera said, "Everyone in the club knew that Kim Min-su was an incredibly talented and outstanding player from a young age at Girona.
"I worked with him there. He has now transferred to Rangers. I hope he continues to develop his abilities and becomes an even better player and I am looking forward to meeting him again."
Why Minsu Kim now faces tough competition at Ibrox
After the international break, Rangers face Kilmarnock at home on 10 October.
It will be interesting to see how McInnes will set up his team, with the starting lineup unchanged for the two Celtic games.
The Scottish manager can continue with the winning formula at Ibrox, barring any fatigue and injury issues.
With Ryan Naderi's importance evident as the second striker, Kim has had to play on the right wing, a position Badredine Bouanani is also vying for.
The Algeria international brings something special with his left foot at the Glaswegian outfit and the former Girona ace will surely have to consistently prove himself to maintain his influence in the squad.
