Arsenal and Chelsea have been linked with a move for Kaoru Mitoma ahead of the summer transfer window, with the Brighton star impressing in his debut Premier League season. The Japan international has been in impressive form since bursting into the first-team, replacing Leandro Trossard on the left wing after he left to join Arsenal.
Mitoma's dribbling ability has been the forefront of what has captured the eye for most, causing plenty of trouble for opposition defenders. While there has been interest in the 25-year-old, Brighton chief Paul Barber has insisted the focus is on the remainder of the current season.
He told The Beautiful Game podcast back in March: "Obviously he's [Mitoma] another player that will be in the spotlight in the next transfer window. We're ready for that and we understand that, we just hope he can have a great second half of the season."
