Spanish outlet Fichajes reports that Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta is preparing to sign Takefusa Kubo as part of a plan that also includes Lucien Agoume. A €75m double bid is being prepared to bring them to the Premier League. Kubo has a €60m exit clause in his Real Sociedad contract, which runs until June 2029. According to the report, Sociedad are allegedly willing to sell for a lower price, and Berta is ready to make a €45m offer. The 24-year-old Japan international wants to move to the Premier League.

According to Fichajes, Arsenal have the intention of making an offer close to €45 million (£39m, $53.1m) for Takefusa Kubo when the transfer window reopens in January, even though the winger’s release clause at Real Sociedad is €60 million (£52.5m, $71m). The report claims that Kubo would be open to joining Arsenal because he knows that leaving La Real for the Gunners would be a career advancement.

According to Fichajes, Arsenal are interested in Real Sociedad forward Takefusa Kubo. The Gunners are not willing to trigger the winger’s €60 million (£52.3 million, $70.5 million) release clause, but could offer €45 million.
