Tottenham Hotspur, under the stewardship of manager Thomas Frank, have reportedly made Take Kubo their ‘priority’ target with a substantial £70 million bid. This decisive move comes as part of what is being described as ‘one last splash’ in the transfer market.
The North London club has already been active this summer, ranking as the ninth-biggest spender in Europe with investments exceeding £120 million. Their recent acquisitions include Mohammed Kudus, Mathys Tel, and Joao Pahlinha. However, with ambitions set high, their summer outlay could potentially surge beyond the £200 million mark.
Central to Spurs’ plans has been Crystal Palace and England international Eberechi Eze. While terms have been agreed upon with the talented midfielder, Tottenham are still negotiating a transfer fee with Palace. Despite these ongoing talks, reports from respected journalist David Ornstein indicate that Eze remains committed to starting for Palace against Chelsea, while Palace themselves are seeking a suitable replacement for him.
Bilal El Khannouss of Leicester City has been touted as a potential successor for Eze, although Crystal Palace are also in talks with Club Brugge regarding Christos Tzolis. Despite having an initial bid rejected for the Greek forward, Palace are preparing an improved offer.
Meanwhile, Tottenham’s sights have now firmly turned to Real Sociedad winger Takefuso Kubo. The Japanese international, revered as one of La Liga’s most dynamic wingers, is being pursued with Tottenham’s considerable new offer now ‘approved’ by Frank.
The report highlights Tottenham’s strategic intent in the final days of the transfer window, with Kubo identified as a key addition to bolster their ranks ahead of the new season. As Spurs continue to fine-tune their squad, the anticipated arrival of Kubo is seen as a statement of the club’s ambitions under Frank’s leadership.
