Tottenham Hotspur are showing interest in signing Real Sociedad winger Takefusa Kubo, with Spurs unable to get a deal for Savinho over the line, according to Marca.
Spurs were reportedly sounding out Kubo last summer, but nothing materialised. However, interest in his services remains. The Europa League champions could swoop for his services.
Kubo has been one of the most exciting wingers in La Liga for some time. Unsurprisingly, Tottenham are interested in signing him.
The Japanese international (44 caps) looks set for a breakthrough campaign after netting in Sociedad’s La Liga curtain-raiser. He had bagged seven goals and four assists last season.
Kubo is primarily a creator, but he is also a massive goal threat.
Hailed as ‘world-class’ by former Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez, the 24-year-old can be a stellar addition to Thomas Frank’s unit.
Spurs could face competition for his signature, though, in the form of Atletico Madrid.
Los Rojiblancos want to reinforce their squad after an atrocious opening La Liga result, but may be reluctant to pay his €60 million release clause.
Tottenham should make the move for Kubo
Tottenham cannot afford to let Takefusa Kubo slip through their grasp this summer after missing out on Savinho.
He brings a blend of technical brilliance and intelligence that Spurs need on the flanks.
Kubo thrives in tight spaces, has the vision to unlock stubborn defences, and isn’t afraid to take responsibility in decisive moments.
Beyond his flair, Kubo has developed into a tactically disciplined player, equally effective in transition and when pressing high up the pitch.
He fits perfectly into the Premier League’s intensity.
Kubo is entering his prime years, and Spurs need to move decisively to secure his signature. Missing out would be a wasted opportunity to add a genuine game-changer to the ranks.
