Kaoru Mitoma, the Japanese midfielder for the national team and a player for Brighton, is potentially on the verge of a move to Arsenal. This development comes amidst speculation about the future of defender Takehiro Tomiyasu, who currently plays for Arsenal. Mitoma himself hinted at a possible departure after Brighton’s Premier League Division 3 match against West Ham United on the 27th of this month.
Mitoma had an impressive season last year, with 7 goals and 5 assists in the Premier League, and he has continued to showcase his talent in the current season. In the team’s second match against Wolverhampton Wanderers on the 19th, he scored a goal and provided an assist, leading his team to victory.
There have been discussions about Mitoma potentially joining a top-tier club such as Manchester City, despite having a contract with Brighton until June 2025. Reports also suggest that Brighton might consider extending his contract this month.
During an interview following the West Ham game, Mitoma remained tight-lipped about his future, stating, “I can’t talk about anything.”
Furthermore, British media outlet “Talk Sports” reported on the 30th that Arsenal is keen on acquiring Mitoma from Brighton before the end of the summer transfer window. However, it appears that Brighton is reluctant to let go of Mitoma, as they would struggle to find a suitable replacement for him at this stage of the transfer window. It is likely that they will reject any offer made by Arsenal.
Brighton has already seen the departure of midfielder Moisés Caicedo to Chelsea and midfielder Alexis Mack Allister to Liverpool during the summer transfer window, resulting in substantial transfer fees. As a result, Mitoma’s move to a higher-level club may be delayed until January of next year.
