Kaoru Mitoma of Brighton and Hove Albion is currently being pursued by Arsenal. Mikel Arteta wants to strengthen his squad's depth, including the forward line, and has identified the Japanese winger as a potential target. This is because the Gunners will almost certainly qualify for the Champions League next season.
This year, the North London team is dominating the field. The club's significant spending during the summer 2022 transfer window laid the groundwork for this turn of events. Thus, the Arsenal board is already making plans for the upcoming transfer window in order to maintain this momentum into the upcoming season.
The Gunners made significant summer transfers for Gabriel Jesus, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Fabio Vieira, Matt Turner, and Marquinhos. They invested nearly £60 million in Leandro Trossard, Jakub Kiwior, and Chelsea's Jorginho during the recently closed January window.
The Sun claims that Arsenal are the front-runners to sign Brighton attacker Kaoru Mitoma. Given that his current contract is good through 2025, the winger could join the Emirates Stadium for about £35 million.
He was acquired by the Seagulls in the summer of 2021 for a rumored £2.07 million fee. He was loaned to Royale Union Saint-Gilloise of the Belgian Pro League. He made 29 appearances for the Belgian team in all competitions, contributing eight goals and four assists (stats from Transfermarkt).
Before the start of this season, the South Coast club called him back after a productive loan period. The 25-year-old winger has seven goals and two assists in 22 games so far, so they are reaping the rewards. In contrast, he has five goals in 13 games for the Japan national team.
