Real Sociedad have expressed interest in Real Madrid midfielder Takufusa Kubo.

The teenage Japan international has spent this season on-loan with Real Mallorca, where he has impressed.

Kubo, however, has battled for consistency and there's an expectation that Real Madrid will send him away on-loan again next term to continue his development.

Estadio Deportivo says Real Sociedad are keen to take on Kubo, with Martin Odegaard already on-loan from Madrid.

Odegaard is in the middle of a two season loan and La Real management hope that will convince Madrid to also send them Kubo so to feature both players in midfield.

Also watching developments are Real Betis.
