Takefusa Kubo is highly rated

“He sees things that other people don’t see, the ability to see a pass and pick a long ball. His intelligence is outstanding. He is very skilled technically but also very brave, he’s not scared of the ball and of taking on responsibility.
“He’s a natural leader and he’s comfortable with the pressure. He has the ingredients to one day be a superstar.”
Spurs preparing January move for Kubo
Tottenham are planning to offer €60 million in order to get the deal done in January, as per Fichajes. They could use more technical capability in the final third, and the 24-year-old could be the ideal fit.
He has proven himself in Spain, and he would like to take on a new challenge in the Premier League now. He has the quality to succeed in the north London club, and he could be an asset for them. It will be interesting to see if he can adapt to English football quickly.
He has the quality to justify the investment in the long run. Regular football in the Premier League could help him improve further as well.

£53 million is a lot of money for the player, and the Spanish outfit is likely to be tempted if the offer is presented. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. Tottenham have been tracking Kubo for several months.
