Manchester City are one of several clubs to have expressed an interest in Brighton and Hove Albion star Karou Mitoma, according to reports.
Mitoma has been one of the breakout stars of this season in the Premier League, the Japan international coming from relative wilderness to replace Leandro Trossard on the right-wing. The 25-year-old has registered six goals and three assists from 20 league appearances this season, helping the Seagulls fight for a European place.
Such form has inevitably attracted the interest of Europe's top clubs, with TEAMtalk reporting that City are alongside the likes of Arsenal, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. However the report adds that any circling sides are set to be kept at bay, with the winger set to be offered a new deal with a major pay rise.
