Arsenal join Liverpool in race for Real Sociedad winger

Arsenal could go head-to-head with Liverpool to land Real Sociedad winger Takefusa Kubo this summer, according to El Nacional.

The Gunners are expected to make multiple changes to the squad and a new winger could be prioritised by the hierarchy, as per reports.

Liverpool may also spend big on a right winger, considering they may want to reduce Mohamed Salah's workload in the back end of his career.

Salah's current deal expires at the end of June but The Telegraph claim that he is set to extend his contract for another two years at least.

Kubo has been identified as a top target for both Premier League teams, but he is unlikely to come on the cheap in the next transfer window.

There is a release clause worth £52m in his Sociedad contract. The La Liga outfit are set to demand a similar package to part ways with him.

Arsenal are expected to trigger a similar clause to sign Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi, who has been a long-term target of theirs.
