‘Please sign him’ – Newcastle United transfer chief urged to make move for La Liga star

Newcastle United’s long-standing search for a right-winger has taken an intriguing turn as voices within the fanbase champion Real Sociedad’s Take Kubo as the ideal solution.

The Japanese international, whose career has blossomed in La Liga after failing to break through at Real Madrid, has emerged as one of Europe’s most exciting attacking talents during his three-year stint in San Sebastian.

At just 23, Kubo boasts an impressive return of 23 goals and 18 assists in 132 appearances for Sociedad, including seven strikes this campaign as his side push for a late European qualification spot.

His development since leaving Madrid’s reserve team has been remarkable, with productive loan spells at Mallorca, Villarreal and Getafe providing the platform for his current success.

Newcastle’s need for quality on the right flank has become football’s worst-kept secret, persisting through multiple transfer windows despite Jacob Murphy’s improved performances this season.

While Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo and West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen have been heavily linked, prominent Newcastle supporter Sam Mulliner made his preference clear during an appearance on The Everything is Black and White Podcast.

When questioned about potentially luring Bowen from West Ham, Mulliner dismissed the idea outright: “No, he’s got a job there for life.” His comments suggest many fans view Kubo as a more attainable and exciting prospect than established Premier League options.

The technical winger’s style would offer Eddie Howe something different – a left-footed attacker capable of cutting inside onto his stronger foot while maintaining the work rate demanded in Newcastle’s system.

Kubo’s experience in Spain’s tactical environment has honed his decision-making and defensive contributions, making him a potentially smoother transition to Premier League football than many imports.

With several elite European clubs reportedly monitoring Kubo’s situation, Newcastle’s potential Champions League qualification could prove decisive in any transfer battle.

The Magpies’ ambitious project and growing reputation for developing talent may outweigh interest from clubs with more established pedigrees.

As Newcastle prepare for what promises to be a pivotal summer window, Kubo represents precisely the profile of signing that could elevate them to the next level – young enough to develop further but already proven at the highest level.

For a fanbase craving an explosive right-sided attacker, the Japanese star might just be worth breaking the bank for.
