Real Zaragoza midfielder Shinji Kagawa believes Takefusa Kubo has what it takes to play for Real Madrid.

The 18-year-old Japan international is currently on loan at Real Mallorca after joining Los Blancos in the summer.

"He's a very good player," Kagawa told MARCA.

"He already speaks Spanish because he was at the Barcelona academy for a bit and this is helping him a lot now.

"I think he can play well for Real Madrid.

"He has a very good chance [of succeeding in Spain].

"He's left-footed and very intelligent on the pitch.

"He always makes the right decision at the right time."
