Abstract: For a given graph $H$, a graph $G$ is $H$-linked if, for every injection $varphi:V(H)oV(G)$, the graph $G$ contains a subdivision of $H$ with $varphi(v)$ corresponding to $v$, for each $vinV(H)$. Let $f(H)$ be the minimum integer $k$ such that every $k$-connected graph is $H$-linked. Among graphs $H$ with at least four vertices, the exact value $f(H)$ is only know when $H$ is a path with four vertices or a cycle with four vertices. A kite is graph obtained from $K_4$ by deleting two adjacent edges, i.e., a triangle together with a pendant edge. Recently, Liu, Rolek and Yu proved that every $8$-connected graph is kite-linked. The exact value of $f(H)$ when $H$ is the kite remains open. In this paper, we settle this problem by showing that every 7-connected graph is kite-linked.
