Great news for Brighton supporters. Japanese international winger Kaoru Mitoma (26), a true revelation in the Premier League since last season, has extended his contract with the Seagulls until 2027. Author of 3 goals and 4 assists in all competitions, the Samurai Blue striker (18 caps, 7 goals), targeted in particular by FC Barcelona, has quickly entered the hearts of Albion supporters since his arrival in August 2021, after a year on loan at Union Saint -Gilloise.
“Ensuring that a player of Kaoru’s quality will stay with us long term is great news. Kaoru adapted to the Premier League last season and quickly became one of our most important players. His success is also a reflection of the work of the departments who played a role in his recruitment, helped him gain important loan experience and ultimately become an important part of Roberto’s first-team squad. I have no doubt that our supporters will be delighted with this news.said technical director David Weir following the announcement.
