Tottenham is aiming for another star in Asia as a new ace to fill Son Heung-min's vacancy. Players will also show interest.
England's cutoff side reported on the 17th (Korea time) 'Kubo Takefusa opened the possibility of a transfer to Tottenham in 2026'
The cutoff side 'It is an open fact that Tottenham is planning to recruit a new winger in 2026 to reinforce the offense. While several candidates are being discussed, one of them is more than Gu. Gubo has a tough season in La Liga, and a new environment can energize his career. This could happen at Tottenham. Gubo could also be interested in a move to the English Premier League, he said.

Then 'Kubo is the best player and can play on both sides. It will definitely be a steal for Tottenham's attacking team. He can play both left and right, and he has a clear goal-making ability. In January, the transaction may be difficult due to the transfer fee. If he grows a step or two further, a £52 million transfer fee could also be a bargain,' he added.
Tottenham feels the absence of an ace as Son Heung-min leaves this season. Son Heung-min left Tottenham last summer for the first time in 10 years. He ended his career at Tottenham by winning the Europa League in 2024-2025 season. The problem was Tottenham. Unlike Son Heung-min, who has adapted to the U.S. stage immediately, Tottenham has not been able to adapt easily to a season without Son. Mohamed Kudus is being mentioned as a new ace, but he has not made a leap as a troubleshooter to Son Heung-min's level. It is necessary to reinforce the offense.

The candidate is more than the Japanese national team's ace Koo. He has already been a proven player since his youth. He went through both the Barcelona Academy 'La Masia' and Real Madrid youth teams. The turning point for growth was the transfer to Real Sociedad. Gubo, who moved to Sociedad ahead of the 2022-2023 season, has been reborn as an ace from a prospect. He was a leading player in Sociedad's rise with nine goals and seven assists in the 2022-2023 season and was considered one of the top wingers in La Liga. This season is somewhat sluggish, but there is no big problem with his skills. Gubo can leave La Liga and aim to move to the EPL to rebound his performance.
Several clubs have already shown interest in recruiting Kubo. Liverpool and Bayern Munich were mentioned as candidates. Tottenham didn't miss out, either. I thought about Gubo as a new star candidate to fill Son Heung-min's void. Considering that Kubo is a popular player in Japan, it can be expected to fill Son Heung-min's gap in sales. England's The Times reported that since Kane's transfer, Kane has been a symbol of Tottenham and a boy who has grown into the club's best player. However, Son has become the heart of the team and the shining new lifeline of the Enze Postecoglou era. On the day of the game, Son Heung-min's uniform usually sold 700, but after Kane left, it sold nearly 1,000. After Son Heung-min's transfer, such sales have plummeted. This is why stars are even more desperate.
Tottenham want a new Asian star. Attention is focusing on whether Gubo, who has emerged as a strong candidate, will be courted by Tottenham this winter or next summer, and will be able to establish himself as a substitute for Son Heung-min.
