British media 'Mirror' reported on the 5th (Korean time), "Brighton is expected to sign a new contract to prevent its Premier League rivals from signing Mitoma."

He added, "Mitoma has emerged as a key player for coach Roberto De Zerbi. He currently has a contract until June 2025."

He also said, "Brighton is trying to prevent Mitoma from leaving for a small transfer fee. Mitoma is also happy to play for Brighton. He will soon sign a new five-year contract."

The media said, “He received interest from Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal. Manchester United also scouted him last season.”

Mitoma, who played for Kawasaki Frontale in Japan's J-League, played in the Tokyo Olympics and wore a Brighton uniform for a transfer fee of 3 million euros (about 4.2 billion won).

His influence was evident from his first season. He recorded 10 goals and 8 assists in a total of 41 games in the 2022-23 season. He started in 24 of 33 Premier League matches.

Garth Crooks of British media 'BBC' also compared Mitoma to Son Heung-min (Tottenham). “Mitoma has all the ingredients of a top class player. He plays very similar to Son Heung-min,” Crooks said. “He is not afraid of the opponent, can see the pass and wants to score.”

Coach Dezerby also praised him, saying, "Mitoma's play is very similar to Son Heung-min. He is not afraid of the opponent, knows how to pass, and wants to score goals."

Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola also praised him. “I would like to say that Mitoma’s impact on the Premier League has been tremendous. Last season was special,” he said.

Mitoma is flying high with 3 goals and 4 assists in a total of 10 games this season. More and more clubs are trying to recruit Mitoma. Therefore, Brighton is unlikely to give him up easily by renewing his contract.

The contract size is also significant. Global sports media 'The Athletic' reported, "Mitoma signed a contract until 2028. Mitoma will play for Brighton for another five years. Once the new contract is signed, he will receive the highest salary in Brighton."
