Arsenal and Liverpool sent scouts to watch 23-year-old target this week | OneFootball

Arsenal and Liverpool are keeping tabs on the Real Sociedad winger Takefusa Kubo.

The 23-year-old has established himself as one of the best attackers in La Liga, and his performances have attracted the attention of multiple clubs. According to TBR Football, Arsenal and Liverpool have been scouting the player ahead of a potential move.

The likes of Aston Villa and Newcastle United have also watched the player earlier this week during Real Sociedad’s win over Ajax on Thursday. It will be interesting to see if the interested parties decide to step up their pursuit of the player and submit an official offer in the coming months.

Arsenal and Liverpool need Takefusa Kubo

Arsenal could certainly use a quality winger like him. The arrival of the Japanese international will allow them to rotate key players like Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli more often. Arsenal will be hoping to fight for major trophies, and they need a deeper squad with more quality. The Japanese winger has proven himself in La Liga and has the technical attributes to do well in England. The opportunity to join one of the biggest clubs in the world will be quite attractive for the player.

It remains to be seen whether Arsenal can secure an agreement with the Spanish club for his signature. Kubo has a release clause in his contract.

Meanwhile, Liverpool need a quality winger as well. Mohamed Salah will be a free agent in the summer of 2025, and he will need to be replaced adequately. It will be interesting to see if Liverpool can win the race for his signature. The 23-year-old could develop into a key player for the club with the right guidance.

Liverpool are currently on top of the league table and the Champions League standings. They are likely to be an attractive destination for the Japanese winger. It will be interesting to see where he ends up.
