Tottenham wants to recruit a new Asian star.
Mark Bruce, a reporter for Cutoffside, reported in a daily briefing on the 7th (Korea time) that `Tottenham will offer 60 million euros to recruit Takefusa Kubo.'
Bruce added: `Tottenham is interested in strengthening its offense through the recruitment of Gubo. It is interesting to see if Real Sociedad will approve his move. Tottenham have made him a top priority and are willing to make the move happen. Tottenham need creativity and sharpness in the Final Third. Kubo also has a clear commercial appeal as a player for the Japanese national team. Tottenham have made big gains through Son over the past few years, and now want to sign the next Asian superstar.

Gubo, one of La Liga's leading wingers, is one of the players who has been receiving hot attention in the recent transfer market. Gubo, who grew up through both the Barcelona Academy 'La Masia' and Real Madrid youth teams with outstanding talent from a young age, later began to show off his potential through loans to Villarreal, Getafe and Mallorca via Tokyo FC and Yokohama.
The transfer to Real Sociedad was the turning point. 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. The 2023-2024 season also accumulated seven goals and five assists in 41 official games. In the previous season, he played in 52 games as the team's main player, scoring seven goals and four assists. This season has been somewhat sluggish with one goal in nine games.

Tottenham can fill the Asian marketing effect as well as its lack of offense by recruiting Gubo. Tottenham struggled to reinforce its offense after Son Heung-min's transfer this summer. I tried to go for Savinho, Nico Paz, Eberechi Eze, but I missed them all. Since then, Xavi Simmons has been recruited, but additional recruitment is inevitable because he is closer to the No. 10 position than offense.
Recruitment of Gubo could also be of great help to Tottenham, which could face difficulties in Asian marketing after Son Heung-min's transfer. Kubo is an ace representing Japan's next generation along with Lee Kang-in of South Korea. If Kubo joins Tottenham in the future, there is a good chance that he will receive great attention from Japanese fans depending on his performance.
After parting ways with Asia's top star Son Heung-min, Tottenham is still paying attention to the Asian market. It is also expected that Gubo will be able to play as the best superstar in Asia for Tottenham after Son Heung-min.
