Kaoru Mitoma
28-Year-Old
Brighton & Hove Albion
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Mitoma's third season in Brighton saw him set a bevy of new bests, including 10 goals and 2,608 league minutes played. Even with the bevy of options in the squad, Mitoma seems to have a set role on the left wing to himself, at least when fully fit. Assuming that's the case again, 15 goal contributions are in play, if not more. As always with Mitoma, though, those are likely to come in bursts with plenty of dry spells such as his nearly two-month period without a goal contribution in the middle of last season.
Assists in season finale
Mitoma assisted once to go with three crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 4-1 win versus Tottenham Hotspur.
ANALYSIS
Mitoma set up Diego Gomez's late goal Sunday, a strike which capped a 4-1 win over Spurs. Mitoma finished the campaign with 14 goal contributions (10 goals and four assists), four of which came in the final five matches of the season. It was another solid season for Mitoma, especially after coming off a major injury that kept him out the latter half of last season. He is set to be a focal point of Brighton's attack once again next season.
