JAKARTA - Brighton and Hove Albion's interested club, mitoma, was forced to bite his finger. The reason is, the Japanese player extended his contract with his club until 2027.

Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi also welcomed him after his key player lasted longer.

"This is good news. My brother is our top player," said De Zerbi, quoted from the club's official website, Saturday.

Mitoma has been a key player for Brighton since last season where at that time with 10 goals and 8 assists from 41 appearances in all competitions, he led The Seagulls to finish in sixth place in the Premier League final standings and at the same time led his team to compete in Europe for the first time in history, in the Europa League.

This season, the 26-year-old footballer continues his slick game where he has scored 3 goals and 4 assists from 11 appearances in all competitions.

"Kaoru adapted to the Premier League last season and has quickly become one of our most important players," Brighton Technical Director David Weir said.

"His success is also a reflection of the department's work that played a role in his recruitment, helping him gain important experience on loan (at the Belgian club Union Saint Gilloise) and eventually becoming a big part of De Zerbi's first team group," he added.

Now Mitoma is preparing to play a big party when his team is away against defending champions and owners of the treble winners, Manchester City in the 2023/2024 Premier League at the Etihad Stadium, Saturday at 21.00 WIB.
