Following his departure from Real Madrid in July 2022 for just €6.5m, the Japan international has worked hard to prove that he’s capable of playing at the highest level. Last season the young forward played predominantly through the middle and bagged no less than 18 goals and assists in 44 games for Sociedad in all competitions, but this season has seen Kubo move out right and play almost exclusively as a right winger. There, the young star has bagged seven goals and five assists in 41 games in the previous campaign and at just 23 years of age there’s little doubt that he could score even more in a team surrounded by top-class players.
