Everton’s management has quietly drawn up plans to add more flair to their attack. The Toffees have improved steadily this season, but many still feel they need another wide player who can trouble defenders and stretch tight defences. David Moyes values direct play and quick movement.
His team’s recent performances have shown both progress and limitations. While Everton are confident that they will be able to retain Iliman Ndiaye, they still want more spark on the flanks. Their scouts have now turned their attention to Spain. Spanish outlet Fichajes reports that Everton, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur want to sign Real Sociedad winger Takefusa Kubo.
Everton are interested in Takefusa Kubo
The report says the Basque club will sell the Japanese international if a club triggers his €60 million release clause. Kubo trained at Barcelona’s La Masia academy and later joined Real Madrid. He rebuilt his career at Real Sociedad in 2022. The 24-year-old right-winger possesses speed, control, and aggression and poses a threat on either wing.
He has grown steadily in San Sebastián, and his skill in tight spaces fits the Premier League’s tempo. Everton like how he links midfield and attack without slowing play. Manchester United and Tottenham want his creativity, but Everton seem more eager for his energy. The Toffees have already started planning a more potent frontline. They are making a concrete plan to sign Ivan Toney to boost their goals.
Why Kubo could fit Moyes’ system?
Moyes would likely use Kubo as an inverted winger who cuts inside to connect with the striker and attacking midfielder. That setup would let Ndiaye and Jack Grealish move between lines and create overloads on both wings. Kubo makes quick decisions and presses with intensity, matching Moyes’ demand for organised yet fast play.
However, the €60 million fee should raise doubts within the Everton camp. Spending that much on one winger could limit Everton’s spending in the next window. Still, if they handle the deal smartly, they could strengthen their attack.
Kubo adds unpredictability and energy, two qualities Everton have missed for years. Moyes must now decide if this investment fits the club’s long-term plan. He also needs to weigh whether focusing on balance remains the wiser choice.
