Tottenham Hotspur reportedly hold a genuine interest in a winger who registered 11 goal contributions last season, and they would not have any trouble meeting his release clause.
Over the last couple of days, an increasing number of sources have reported that Tottenham may end up missing out on Man City winger Savinho.
This is because Pep Guardiola has allegedly decided he does not want to lose Savinho, which may force Spurs to consider approaches for other alternatives.
It has since been reported in Spain that Tottenham are considering making a move for Real Sociedad’s Takefusa Kubo, and a new update has now backed up the Lilywhites’ interest in the Japan international.
Tottenham would not have any issues meeting Takefusa Kubo’s release clause
Wednesday’s print edition of AS (as relayed by Sport Witness) has now confirmed that Spurs hold a serious interest in Kubo.
The outlet claims that this is not the first time Tottenham Hotspur have tried to sign the 24-year-old, having also explored a move for the winger 12 months ago.
The Premier League side’s interest in Kubo never went away, and Thomas Frank’s men are now said to be ‘keen’ on adding him to their squad.
It is revealed that the former Real Madrid man only signed a new contract back in December, which runs until 2029, but it includes a release clause of €60m (£52m), which is not expected to be an issue for the North London club.
Kubo may not be entirely happy at Real Sociedad
AS reveal that Kubo has made some noises of discontent this summer, having recently complained about the lack of quality in Sociedad’s squad.
The Japanese star is unhappy with the lack of ambition that La Real have shown in the transfer market, and he has also recently changed his agent.
These signs could potentially be encouraging for Spurs, but the La Liga club remain confident that they will be able to hang onto their talisman this summer.
