The report has further claimed that ‘Kubo would be open to joining Arsenal’ because he knows that leaving La Real for the Gunners would be ‘a career advancement’. Kubo is a former Real Madrid winger who was on the books of Los Blancos from 2019 until 2022. The 26-year-old’s trajectory is similar to Martin Odegaard, who was expected to become a Real Madrid superstar but failed to make a huge impact at the Santiago Bernabeu. TEAMtalk’s transfer insider, Dean Jones, has revealed how much Arsenal are willing to pay Saliba in wages to stop him from going to Real Madrid. Meanwhile, an Arsenal summer signing has been backed to explode and star for the Gunners in the coming weeks.
