The secret's out: Real Sociedad have a star in Take Kubo

Related Topics: Real Sociedad, Takefusa Kubo

Most of you will have forgotten, or perhaps never knew, that at the tender age of 22, Takefusa Kubo is already with the eighth club of his fledgling career.

Just about any footballer with that kind of career will likely be a journeyman, forced into a nomadic lifestyle because of a cursed or problematic attitude, persistently failing to fulfil potential or by bouncing around the bottom end of the transfer market where clubs barter for guys like kids used to swap bubblegum cards. Not Kubo, though; anyone who's been watching him these past 13 months will already know he's pulling on the blue and white kit of the club in which he was born to perform.
