Everton could be lining up an exciting transfer of Real Sociedad winger Takefusa Kubo.
With the transfer window desperately needing to provide for David Moyes now, Kubo could be the perfect player to follow Thierno Barry.
Barry is close to arriving, but fans have turned their attention to the Japanese winger, as Everton fans are buzzing with interest in Kubo.
The 24-year-old is a highly coveted target, and now Moyes wants to throw his hat in the ring and bring the tricky star to Everton.
Well, Kubo has already made something very clear about his future, which will be of intrigue to Evertonians.

Everton target Takefusa Kubo has ‘idea’ over his future
It seems like Kubo has already got the seal of approval from Everton fans.
Kubo was signed by Real Madrid but didn’t quite get the time at the Spanish giants, which led him to Sociedad.
It’s safe to say that Madrid are now looking silly, as Kubo has been a gem over in the Basque region.

There hasn’t been much of a chunk taken out of Everton’s potential £100m budget, but Kubo will surely come with a decent fee after his success.
But will he even look to leave the club this summer, as the winger made something very clear in a post-match interview after Sociedad drew 0-0 to Athletic Bilbao in May.
“My idea is to stay at Real and for the team to improve, but like the coach, you never know”.

Kubo would be the ‘dream’ for Everton this summer
With Barry’s signature hopefully secured, Moyes’ front three is beginning to take shape.
The Frenchman will occupy the number nine role, with Iliman Ndiaye’s brilliance off the left, which leaves an opening for Kubo on that right side.
With fans already excited by the Japanese forward, when looking at what he can bring to the table, it speaks volumes about what needs to be done.

Previously, Kubo has been described as the ‘dream’, and The Friedkin Group needs to follow through on this deal.
It had been claimed £25m was enough for Kubo, but it won’t be an easy transfer to secure, judging by his quality.
