There's been a lot of hype around Japanese sensation, Takefusa Kubo, since Real Madrid snapped him up and he made impressive cameos during their pre-season. He's currently on loan at Mallorca, but if you keep an eye on him, he certainly has the potential to become a very special player.

At 18-years old, he's already got the attributes of a very good attacking midfielder. His major skills include his passing (15), vision (15), dribbling (15) and technical ability (15), which is better than some other highly regarded playmakers on the game. If there was one criticism to highlight, it's that he's a bit of a lightweight, so you'll need some strong players behind him so he can really show off his creativity.

Our test saves with Kubo showed a player who had mixed results, but that was down to shoddy player management rather than him not being able to successfully fulfill his potential. If you're willing to build a team around him, you'll be able to harness one of the most efficient players on the game.
