Tottenham set to prioritise £60m La Liga winger as Man City push to keep Savinho
Amidst reports that Tottenham Hotspur may miss out on Savinho, a report from Spain has claimed that the Lilywhites are now expected to press forward with a move for a former Real Madrid winger.
Eberechi Eze is expected to complete a move to Arsenal instead of Spurs, and it has emerged over recent days that Pep Guardiola has decided to keep Savinho at Man City.
That means that the Lilywhites may have to turn their attention to other wingers, and it has been suggested by some sources that Spurs could pursue Monaco’s Maghnes Akliouche.
Now, a new report has claimed that Tottenham Hotspur are considering a move for a 24-year-old La Liga star, who scored seven goals and provided four assists last season, and has started the new campaign with a goal in his first league game.
Tottenham are keen on landing Japan international Takefusa Kubo
This report comes from Fichajes, who say that Tottenham are expected to be one of the ‘main players’ in the final days of the transfer window, with the Premier League side looking to ‘make a splash’.
It is alleged that Thomas Frank wants a pacy winger who is good at carrying the ball and can make a decisive impact in the final third, and they have now settled on one clear target: Takefusa Kubo.
Kubo, who found the back of the net in Real Sociedad’s 1-1 draw away at Valencia on Sunday, has shot to the top of Spurs’ priority list.
The Japanese winger’s ability to play on either flank particularly appeals to the London side, and Frank has already approved his signing, with the Dane of the opinion that the 24-year-old can be a decisive player for his side this season.
Tottenham are ready to spend big on Takefusa Kubo
However, Fichajes warn that a deal for Kubo will not be easy to complete, with Real Sociedad seeing him as a fundamental part of their project.
The La Liga club are expected to fight to keep the diminutive winger, and they will not consider selling him for less than €70m (£60.5m).
However, it is asserted that this high asking price has not put off Tottenham, who are seriously considering spending big on the former Real Madrid man.
