Should Arsenal go back to Brighton to sign Kauro Mitoma?

Mikel Arteta may have identified Brighton as a source of talent. He got Ben White there first, and there’s no denying how good White has been. Then Trossard was recently bought. Many people are still baffled as to how Arsenal was able to sign Leandro Trossard in the recently closed winter transfer window (in 16 games at Brighton this season, Trossard already had 7 goals and 2 assists).

Now, Arteta has reportedly identified Kauro Mitoma as his next acquisition from the Armex Stadium, following White and Trossard. The Japanese dribble king has taken the English football scene by storm, scoring five goals since the World Cup. Arteta, according to the Sun, wants him to join his already “unbeatable” attacking unit.

Anyone who doubts Mitoma becoming a hit at the Emirates should listen to what Premier League legend Jermaine Defoe has to say about the Brighton winger. “It’s an unbelievable return. It’s not just the goals he’s scoring, it’s his performances—three years ago he was at university studying dribbling, and now he’s got the most dribbles,” Defoe said, as quoted by Optus Sport, when discussing Mitoma’s late goal against Bournemouth.

“It’s incredible, what a signing, what a player they’ve got there. It’s such an amazing story; we never see it. It’s down to recruitment, credit to the club, to find a player like that.”

If the claims that Brighton will be ready to do business at £35 million are true, Brighton will undoubtedly make a profit after signing him for £2.5 million.

  1. Absolutely no way will Brighton sell for £35m.
    it doesn’t matter how much he cost it’s how much he is worth that counts.
    If Grealish is worth £100m then………….

  2. There’s nothing wrong in buying Mitoma, a major issue with our squad is the midfield, I guess we’ve all noticed, once partey is absent, the team crumbles, xhaka needs a strong replacement, so even if Partey is out,we are still strong and mobile,
    I also feel, trossard substituting Martineli weakens us, trossard should be replacing Nketiah with Martineli moving to the CF role, just my thoughts.

  3. Sorry Brighton will not sale at £35million you can double that amount. Also I believe Trossard left Brighton because he could see that Mitoma would replace him on the left side. He will not be happy to see Arsenal buy Mitoma

  4. Having sign Tossard, Mitoma position is not now a priority, we still need a young and powerful midfielder and a striker.

  5. Yes go back. He’s a special player. We should have signed him instead of trossard. Master dribbler what more can you ask for.
