Reports in Spain suggest that Emery is prepared to use his connections in his homeland to move for Real Sociedad winger Takefusa Kubo in the new year. According to Fichajes, Villa are in the best position to sign the Japan international. The 24-year-old is reported to be disappointed with the current situation at Sociedad, which currently sits in the LaLiga relegation zone. A report adds that a move to England is tempting for Kubo, who has already informed Sociedad of his intention to leave.

According to Fichajes, Aston Villa are interested in Real Sociedad winger Takefusa Kubo, as the 24-year-old is reportedly demanding to leave LaLiga in the upcoming transfer window.

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.
