Takefusa Kubo: Why Real Madrid's Exciting Starlet Is the Biggest Bargain of the Summer

Japanese attacking midfielder Takefusa Kubo has already provided Real Madrid fans with glimpses of his unbelievable potential in pre-season.

Having signed for Los Blancos this summer on a free transfer, the 18-year-old has been a shining light in what has been a pretty disastrous pre-season for the Spanish giants.

Kubo made his debut against Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich in the International Champions Cup and it took him just 45 minutes to showcase his brilliant technical ability.

It is, therefore, no doubt that the likes of Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona were interested in signing Kubo, yet managed to miss out in bizarre fashion after misjudging his contract situation.
