The absence of some key attackers, such as Takumi Minamino and winger Kaoru Mitoma, a lot of pressure may well fall on the shoulders of Real Sociedad winger Takefusa Kubo. The 25-year-old, formerly of both Barcelona and Real Madrid, bounced around La Liga loans from Real Mallorca and Villarreal to Getafe before establishing himself as a key man for La Real in the last few seasons, helping the Basque giants win the Copa del Rey this season.
