Granada

Granada is a good team. They finished 9th in the league last season, and although they lost a lot of games towards the end of the season, they’re still pretty solid. They finished 9th after conceding 65 goals in the league, which was by far the most. But, they could do some damage if Kubo joins them. Kubo getting into that team increases the goal production by a lot, and if he can work on his positioning while defending, and tracks back effectively to support the defense, he could prove to be a great acquisition for Granada.

Granada scored the least goals out of the top nine teams, which is not a great look. Getting Kubo can help change that.

The wingers that generally play on the right for Granada — Antonio Puertas and Kenedy — scored just seven goals in total, and had seven combined assists. The output isn’t enough for a side that’s competing for European spots.

The problem with this is that even though Kubo fits well, I’m pretty sure Granada would rather focus on the defensive side of things first. I mean, a team in the top half of the table shouldn’t be conceding as many goals as they are at the moment. An offensive asset won’t be top priority for Granada, that’s why they’re last on this list.
