Tottenham Hotspur have submitted an offer worth £42 million for Real Sociedad star Takefusa Kubo.
The North London club are looking at ways to further bolster their attack ahead of next season. While Spurs did a decent job last time out, Ange Postecoglou wants more firepower in attack as he looks to challenge the best teams in the country.
Takefusa Kubo’s impressive rise at Real Sociedad has put him on the wishlist of Tottenham. According to a report via TEAMtalk, they have already submitted a £42 million offer to acquire the services of the versatile Japanese forward.
While things didn’t really go according to plan for Kubo at Real Madrid, the move to Sociedad in 2022 has helped him establish himself in the Spanish top flight. The 23-year-old”s consistent performances have put him on the radar of multiple top clubs.
Kubo prefers playing out wide on the right but he can even feature on the left as well as a number 10 when needed. He has managed to impress the Tottenham recruitment chiefs with his performances and they want him at their disposal ahead of next season.
Spurs have already submitted an initial bid worth £42 million for the versatile star. While it will result in Sociedad making a significant profit, Tottenham might have to put forward an improved offer to land him.
The player’s contract with the Spanish club runs until the summer of 2029 and he is protected by a release clause worth £51 million. Spurs will have to trigger it if they want Kubo in their squad.
Meanwhile, if Tottenham’s initial bid is rejected, Postecoglou will most likely push the club to trigger his release as he has identified him as a top target for the summer.
