Nobody ever tiptoed through the opposition defense and then finished/assisted better than Mitoma AT THIS LEVEL. We had Vicente who tiptoed past everyone vs Derby and hit the bar in the Championship. We had Kazenga Lua Lua who bamboozled defenders and finished it in league 1 on occasion. Mitoma is off the chain.

I'm not denying that we have had some amazing wingers and attackers. But I think Mitoma is the best attacking player I have seen at the team. Let's not forget the level we are playing at I'm comparison to others.

And tragically forgot about Knockaert there. In fact I think AK is the text book example of where we were to where we are right now. Knocky was f***ing great and got people out of their seats in the Championship. He still had a lot to offer in the PL - that goal v Palace springs to mind. But you just knew after a few games in that 1st PL season he wasn't bamboozling those defenders anymore. Mitoma on his day is unplayable if you give him the space that Wolves did. End of.

Mac Allister was more skillful than Mitoma. Mitoma though is the best dribbler of the ball I have seen in a Brighton shirt by far.

I think with Mitoma it's those little bursts of acceleration. Defenders think he's at max speed...but he's not, another gear over the next 3 yards... brilliant.
However, I think Enciso will be seen as better in a year or so, if we hold on to him.

Enciso set up both Solly's goals v Wolves on a plate. RiDONKULOUS skill.

Tbh I think Bissouma was our most skilful and we never got to see him in 5th gear in that respect.

There’s a Zidane-esque quality to his game which was tamed under his mgmt here. Vincent was obviously good but I think people are looking through some rose tinted glasses and also need to consider the quality of oppo he was up against. So my vote would probably be Biss.
