Everton are expected to be very busy in the transfer market leading up to the new 2025/26 Premier League season.
David Moyes will be handed a substantial budget by the Friedkin Group, who have big ambitions for Everton.
The Toffees are closing in on the statement signing of Thierno Barry after his prolific season with Villarreal and Basel.
Juventus’ Douglas Luiz has been linked with a move to Finch Farm, too, so clearly they’re shopping in a much higher calibre market.
Jack Grealish is another player on Moyes’ radar, and now there is a fresh rumour about a former Barcelona youngster.
Everton fans buzzing about links to Takefusa Kubo
Everton are reportedly showing an interest in Real Sociedad winger Takafusa Kubo, who came through the ranks at Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Fans have been reacting to the rumour on X, formerly known as Twitter, and are really hoping a transfer materialises.
“Rather have him than Grealish,” @andy_francis2 said.
@EFCevs posted: “That would be immense for us.”
@UTToffees explained: “No brainer, if the deal works for the club then it’s a deal we have to do. Proper footballer.”
“If this is true, please bring immediately,” @EFCGeorge5 commented.
“I’d be made up with this signing. Player,” @LewyBrown7 admitted.
“If Everton got Kubo and Douglas Luiz they’d get Conference League at least. Moyes can build a squad la,” @jeisiskshjsjs said.
Kubo has been likened to Lionel Messi
Kubo, a 24-year-old right winger, has actually been dubbed the Japanese Messi due to his diminutive frame and cultured left foot.
The Sociedad attacker registered a commendable 11 goal involvements last term, helping his side to a mid-table finish in La Liga.
- 52 appearances
- 7 goals
- 4 assists
A couple of years ago, Kubo was valued at around £51m by the Spanish outfit, however, it’s now claimed they could accept an offer as low as £25m.
That could prove to be a bargain for Everton, who are in desperate need of more quality in the attacking ranks.
