Tottenham Hotspur face competition from PSG and Atletico Madrid for Takefusa Kubo
Tottenham Hotspur put on a show offensively as they opened their 2025-26 Premier League campaign with a 3-0 win over Burnley. The experienced forward Richarlison scored two beautiful goals, while the new signing Mohammed Kudus also showcased his talents by putting in two assists.
The Spurs team’s attacking performance in this first game of the league season was definitely satisfactory. However, the North London side is still looking to bring in more attacking options to Thomas Frank’s team before the current summer transfer window closes.
For this purpose, Tottenham are negotiating with Crystal Palace for the signing of Eberechi Eze, while also being linked with several other names. The latest name to be linked with them is the Real Sociedad forward Takefusa Kubo.
As per a report from Fichajes, the La Liga side is willing to sell the forward if an offer meets their financial demands of €70 million. As things stand, Tottenham are joined by Atletico Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain in the fight for the Japanese international’s signature.
Spurs serious about the player
The report claims that Spurs are seriously considering making a move for the former Real Madrid player as they look to strengthen their squad for the UEFA Champions League.
However, Atletico Madrid and PSG are also keen to add Kubo to their teams, and the Lilywhites will have to fight off these European giants to be able to sign the player.
There is no doubt that Kubo will be a very good addition to this Tottenham team. His direct attacking style and dynamic nature would be a great fit for Thomas Frank’s side, while he has also showcased his good speed, dribbling ability, and creativity amply while playing at the highest level in Spain for the last few years.
However, there are only a few days left before the current transfer market closes. Spurs are already in talks for other players, and it remains to be seen how many resources they can allocate to sign Kubo in these hectic last few days of the market.
