Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur are now being linked with Brighton and Hove Albion winger Kaoru Mitoma.

According to The Daily Mail, new Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou admires Kaoru Mitoma of Brighton and Hove Albion.

The report has described the 26-year-old Japan international winger as a “dribbling sensation”.

The Daily Mail have noted how Postecoglou managed in the J-League.

Mitoma, described as “a fantastic player” by former Arsenal star Paul Merson in SportsKeeda in May 2023, moved to Brighton from Japanese club Kawasaki Frontale in 2021.

Postecoglou was in charge of J-League club Yokohama F. Marinos from 2018 until 2021 before he was appointed the Celtic manager.

Could Tottenham Hotspur sign Kaoru Mitoma?

In our opinion, Liverpool are unlikely to be able to sign Kaoru Mitoma from Brighton and Hove Albion in the summer transfer window.


We do not think that Brighton will sell Mitoma this summer.

Now, of course, we know that every footballer has a price, but it is hard to see the Seagulls sell three of their best players all in one summer.

Alexis Mac Allister has left for Liverpool, while Moises Caicedo could end up leaving for Chelsea in the summer transfer window.

Would Brighton sell Mitoma as well?

We highly doubt it.

Mitoma made 24 starts and nine substitute appearances in the Premier League for the Seagulls last season.

The 26-year-old Japan international scored seven goals and gave five assists in those games.
