Brighton’s talented winger Kaoru Mitoma has attracted several suitors since his arrival at the Amex in August 2022. Bayern Munich and Arsenal have shortlisted the forward as a potential target this summer, with both also keen on an unlikely move for Athletic Club Bilbao star, Nico Williams.

In January, the Seagulls received two bids from Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr for the forward. Despite the second offer reportedly being worth £75million, Brighton rejected both proposals and indicated they had no intention of selling the forward.

While Al-Nassr have ended their pursuit of the Japanese international, Bayern Munich and Arsenal have since sparked an interest in the 28-year-old as a potential summer signing. Last season, Mitoma contributed 10 goals and three assists across 36 Premier League matches for the Seagulls.
