Now previous comments from La Liga star Takefusa Kubo on Liverpool have resurfaced online in an interview he did with GOAL Japan relayed via Liverpool fan and X user King47Ynwa.

The Japanese youngster, who is currently on loan at Real Sociedad from Real Madrid, spoke about his fondness for Liverpool back in 2019:

Japan winger touted as ‘next Salah’ has hailed Liverpool as “awesome”	Peter Crouch and Joe Cole agree about Liverpool as next three fixtures to show Jurgen Klopp aim	'I think': Fabrizio Romano delivers update on if 'gifted' player will sign now Liverpool contract

Kubo also admitted he appreciated Liverpool’s offensive, fast players – likely referring to the wide partnership of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.

“I like fast and skillful players

I think every strong club has these types of players, but when I see players like [ Mane and Salah], I think, ‘Wow that’s amazing’ “.

Perhaps Takefuso Kubo landing up at Liverpool will now not be such a surprise should a move ever transpire.
