(Photo courtesy of Master Press\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<div id=\"article-body\">\n<!-- Article Start --><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tottenham Hotspur have been constantly linked with a possible transfer for Japanese national team attacker Takefusa Kubo. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The 24-year-old has enjoyed a successful spell with Real Sociedad in La Liga and has the technical ability to excel in the Premier League. Tottenham could use a more advanced player in the final third and it remains to be seen whether they decide to sign the Japan international.<\/p>\n<p>According to Pete O&#8217;Rourke, the cost of signing the player is likely to be around \u00a352m. It&#8217;s not a cheap signing, but it remains to be seen whether Tottenham are prepared to pay the price. Kubo is also rumored to be moving to Arsenal.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tottenham_get_Takefusa_Kubo_asking_price\"><\/span>Tottenham get Takefusa Kubo asking price<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<blockquote>\n<p>He said: &#8220;He has been constantly linked with a Premier League move to Tottenham, Liverpool and Aston Villa over the years.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He is a top young player who has achieved great results at Real Sociedad, so it is no wonder that Europe&#8217;s top clubs are paying attention to the Japan international.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is a release clause in his contract so it would be easy for Tottenham to want to sign him in January.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At \u00a352 million, it&#8217;s not a cheap deal by any stretch of the imagination. So if Tottenham increase their interest in Kubo, that will be considered.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kubo_would_be_a_useful_addition\"><\/span>Kubo would be a useful addition<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Takefusa Kubo warming up for the real world (Photo provided by Juan Manuel Serro ARCE\/GETTY MEEMPERS)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Japanese national team is a versatile player who can play both in the center and on the wings. He could be a valuable asset to Tottenham if they can get a deal done. His ability to play multiple roles will be a bonus.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, contracting with Nippon International is commercially useful. They have benefited greatly from Son Heung-min&#8217;s presence over the years. Adding Kubo to the squad will fill that void and allow Tottenham to maximize revenue from the Asian market.<\/p>\n<p>It is likely to be difficult to convince the player to join the club. Whether they are prepared to pay remains to be seen.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Real Sociedad&#8217;s Takefusa Kubo is seen during the pre-season friendly match between Valencia Vahlen Nagasaki and Real Sociedad at Heiwa Stadium connected to SoftBank on July 21, 2025 in Nagasaki, Japan.
