Tottenham are looking to bolster their flanks and are ready to trigger the £52 million release clause for Japanese winger Takefusa Kubo from Real Sociedad. Kubo has previously been linked with a Premier League move, with Everton showing interest over the summer.
Details: According to Football Insider, Tottenham plan to bring in both a striker and a winger in January to reinforce their inconsistent attack. The 24-year-old Japanese international is their top target for the winger position.
Kubo is now in his fourth season with Real Sociedad, but the prospect of Premier League football and following in the footsteps of Japanese stars like Shinji Kagawa and Kaoru Mitoma could play a crucial role in the potential transfer. The former Real Madrid man looks like an ideal fit for the North London club.
This season, the Japanese winger has made ten appearances for Real Sociedad across all competitions, scoring just one goal.
Reminder: Saudi club Al-Ahli denied rumors of Ivan Toney's return to the Premier League. Tottenham had shown strong interest in the forward.
