Liverpool are about to make ‘world class’ £54m attacker their first signing of the summer
Liverpool are closing in on their first signing of the summer.
Arne Slot has taken the reins at Anfield and will be hopeful of adding a number of new profiles to the squad this window.
Slot will be eager to make his own imprint on the squad following Jurgen Klopp’s departure and it’s understood he’s looking to sign an attacker.
Whilst Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo certainly haven’t been poor since arriving, they just haven’t quite made the grade to take the club up a level.
So with that said, Liverpool are now close to signing a world-class attacker to replace them in the starting 11.
Liverpool close to signing Takefusa Kubo
According to , Liverpool are close to making Real Sociedad winger Takefuso Kubo their first signing of the summer.
Kubo is viewed as Mohamed Salah’s successor after impressing in La Liga over the last few seasons, registering 12 goal involvements last term.
The 23-year-old can operate as a right winger, a number 10 and even as a centre-forward – evincing his terrific versatility.
Negotiations are thought to be in the closing stages with a £54m deal set to be agreed upon for the ‘world class’ playmaker, as quoted by .
Tottenham have also been keen on signing Kubo but Liverpool have stolen a march on his signature.
Takefusa Kubo statistics
Kubo’s statistics are very impressive so it’s easy to see why Liverpool are so keen to bring him to Anfield this summer.
The Japan international ranks in the top nine per cent for progressive carries per 90 compared to his positional peers around Europe, evincing his marvellous dribbling ability.
Further, he sits in the top 14 per cent for expected assisted goals and top 17 per cent for shot-creating actions.
