Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly submitted an official proposal to sign Real Sociedad star Takefusa Kubo this summer, according to the Spanish outlet. Transfers.
After four consecutive defeats in the first division, the Lilywhites have returned to winning ways by defeating Burnley last weekend. Ange Postecoglou's team currently occupies fifth position in the standings with 63 points from 36 games, five points behind fourth place. Aston Villa with a game in hand.
Tottenham will therefore have to win their two remaining games to maintain their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League alive. However, achieving it will not be easy since they will have to play city of manchester in their next match tonight and defeating them will not be easy, especially considering that they are currently in the title race and Pep Guardiola's team has shown in the past that they become almost unbeatable during this stage of this season.
With the 2023/24 season yet to conclude, the north London club have apparently already begun planning their summer business to strengthen the squad and continue the rebuild under Postecoglou.
It has been suggested that Tottenham are keen to strengthen the defensive line and engine room this summer, but signing a new winger to strengthen the forward line is apparently also on Postecoglou's wish list.
Kubo to Tottenham
According to the report of TransfersSpurs are “determined” to strengthen their attacking department this summer and have set their sights on signing Kubo from Real Sociedad.
The report further claims that Spurs have begun to accelerate their efforts to complete this deal and have submitted an offer of £43 million. The Spanish outlet claim that Kubo has a £51m release clause in his current contract, but La Real could be tempted to accept the Lilywhites' proposal.
Kubo is a talented player with great potential, so he could be a shrewd signing for Tottenham if they buy him. However, Postecoglou likes to deploy a high-pressing system and there are doubts over whether the Japan international has the physicality to thrive in the Australian coach's style of football.
Therefore, Tottenham would be better off exploring other options to reinforce their front line in the next window. However, it will be interesting to see if the north London club finally sign the left-footed striker in the off-season.
