Kaoru Mitoma Scout Report

Kaoru Mitoma, the quintessential modern winger, continues to enhance Brighton's attacking prowess with his electric style of play. At 27, the Japanese sensation combines experience with an insatiable appetite for the ball, evidenced by his standout ability to recover possession; he's among the league's elite in this metric. His game thrives on dynamic progressive carrying, allowing him to penetrate opposing defences with considerable ease, though his passing game isn't quite as progressive, leaving room for growth in distributing play forward. Mitoma's knack for goal is respectable, supported by efficient positioning that contributes to a decent goal-per-game rate, yet his goal efficiency could certainly see improvement. His dribbling is sharp and effective, particularly adept at slaloming past defenders, but his chance creation suffers, ranking him just around the mid-table among his peers. A more refined final delivery could unlock his potential as a key creator. While Mitoma's passing accuracy warrants improvement, his drive and tenacity on the pitch ensure he's a constant menace, rounding out a positive scout report that marks him as a dynamic offensive asset for the Seagulls.
