Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with the departure of Real Sociedad winger Takefusa Kubo.
According to a report by Sports World via Sports WitnessThe Spanish club are yet to receive any offers from any club for the Japan international, but have received inquiries from Tottenham, Manchester United and Liverpool.
It will be interesting to see if Premier League clubs respond to his interest with an offer to sign the player. The Japanese international has a contract until 2029 and has a release clause of 60 million euros in his contract.
The report claims that Tottenham want to sign the 23-year-old winger and are planning to make an offer for him in the near future. They could certainly do with more depth in the final third and the Japan international is versatile enough to operate on both flanks. He has the quality to succeed in the Premier League and could be a key player for the north London club in the coming seasons.
Kubo scored seven goals and five assists in all competitions last season and could also improve on teams such as Manchester United and Liverpool.
It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can win the race for the signature. They will hope to fight for domestic trophies next season and will also look to secure qualification for the Champions League. Signing someone like Kubo will certainly help them in the final third and it remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Manchester United and Liverpool also have the financial capacity to complete the deal, and could use attacking reinforcements this summer. Players like Antony and Jadon Sancho have been quite disappointing and Manchester United need more options in wide areas.
As for Liverpool, Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz are the club’s only natural wingers and they need more depth in that department. Additionally, Diaz has been linked with a departure from the club and Salah has entered the final year of his contract. It will be interesting to see where the 23-year-old Japan international ends up.
