Brighton are confident of agreeing a new contract with star man Kaoru Mitoma, sources have told Football Insider<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are desperate to keep the 26-year-old at the Amex Stadium as he is a key player for Roberto De Zerbi’s side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mitoma’s current deal only runs until June 2025, which has piqued the interest of several elite Premier League clubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Brighton\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Man City became the latest side to be credited with an interest<\/a> in the Japan international during the summer window, but a move failed to materialise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mitoma has become one of the Premier League’s best wingers since breaking through at Brighton in the 2022-23 campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He managed 10 goals and eight assists in 41 appearances across all competitions as the Seagulls achieved a historic sixth-place finish last term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This season, the right-footer has managed three goals and four assists in 10 appearances across all competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mitoma earns a reported<\/a> wage of \u00a310,000-a-week but is expected to receive a handsome rise with any potential new deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He originally signed for Brighton from Kawasaki Frontale in 2021 for a reported<\/a> \u00a32.5million, but spent a year out on loan at sister club Union Saint-Gilloise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The left-winger has scored seven goals in 18 appearances for Japan and played for his country at the 2022 World Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Brighton\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Brighton drew 2-2 away at Marseille in the Europa League on Thursday (5 October), with Mitoma playing 90 minutes and grabbing an assist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are next in action against Liverpool on Sunday (8 October).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
