Tottenham told to pay 52 million for Takefusa Kubo

"Top young player who's done really well for Real Sociedad. So, it's no surprise that the top European clubs are looking at the Japanese international as well. He has got a release clause in his contract, so it would be straightforward if Tottenham wanted to go and sign him in January. 52million, it's not a cheap deal by any stretch of the imagination. So, that will come into consideration if Tottenham are to firm up their interest in Kubo as well."

"The Japanese International is versatile enough to operate centrally as well as on the flanks. He could be an asset for Tottenham if they manage to get the deal done. His ability to slot into multiple roles will be a bonus. Furthermore, signing the Japanese International will help commercially as well. They have benefited greatly from having Son Heung-min over the years. Adding Kubo to the squad will help fill that void and allow Tottenham to maximise the revenue from the Asian market."

Takefusa Kubo, 24, has performed well for Real Sociedad and possesses technical attributes suited to the Premier League. Tottenham have been repeatedly linked with a move for the Japanese international and would face a 52 million price tag tied to his release clause. Kubo can operate centrally and on both flanks, offering tactical versatility and additional cutting edge in the final third. The signing would also deliver commercial benefits across Asia, following the club's success with Son Heung-min. Convincing the player is expected to be straightforward; the main obstacle is whether Tottenham will pay the fee.
