Speaking on the Inside Track podcast<\/a>, journalist Pete O\u2019Rourke offered an update on Tottenham Hotspur and their pursuit of Real Sociedad<\/a> winger Takefusa Kubo. O\u2019Rourke said,<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s been continually linked with the move to the Premier League with Tottenham,\u00a0Liverpool\u00a0over the years,\u00a0Aston Villa\u00a0as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cTop young player who\u2019s done really well for Real Sociedad. So, it\u2019s no surprise that the top European clubs are looking at the Japanese international as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has got a release clause in his contract, so it would be straightforward if Tottenham wanted to go and sign him in January.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u00a352million, it\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kubo\u2019s Recent Form In La Liga<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Japan international has caught the eye at times with his performances on the right side of Real Sociedad\u2019s attack this season. Kubo has scored one goal in ten matches for the Spanish club in this campaign so far across multiple competitions.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old has managed to shine at times in the final third by averaging 1.92 shots per 90 minutes in La Liga<\/a>. He has kept 33.3% of his attempts on target. However, Kubo needs to improve his ball distribution after completing just 71.1% of his attempted passes in the Spanish first division (stats via fbref.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Should Tottenham Hotspur Boss Thomas Frank Move In For Kubo?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Kubo is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet and can make some driving runs with it out in the wide areas. He can strike the ball with power from long range and has got the vision to engineer some inviting chances in the final third.<\/p>\n

However, the Japan international has to find a way to be more consistent in front of the opponent\u2019s goal. Plus, there are some concerns over whether he can cope with the physical side and high intensity of the Premier League<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We can expect Kubo to bring more quality and depth to Tottenham<\/a> boss Thomas Frank\u2019s attack. He is good enough to compete for a regular first-team spot at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.<\/p>\n

At 24, Kubo will only get better with each season. Thus, the North London club would be wise to move in for him this January or next summer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
