Thought his goal Sat night had hints of his winner against Liverpool a couple of years ago.

[Albion] Mercurial, majestic, magnificent Mitoma [20/10/23: New deal signed]
- Thread starter Beanstalk
- Start date
I think we're starting to see the old Mitoma back with Lamptey behind him. He is at his best when he has a full back behind him that's also asking questions of the opposing.
For large parts of this season, Mitoma has been doubled up on and Pervis (and the rotating cast of back up LBs) haven't really helped him in the way Lamptey has of late. Sure, it's less defensively sound, but the opposition full back has to deal with Mitoma AND a potential overlap from Lamptey, which is creating more space again

Worth having a look at Mitoma's reaction to the Chelsea goal on Saturday – from the one minute mark here – essentially telling everyone to keep calm and possibly reassuring Bart at the same time.
The whole video is bound to be helped by a massive spike in Japan, but he certainly had a good game against Todd's boys!
Edit: another touch of class at the end. He shakes the hands of two of the three officials and doesn't interrupt the third one who is already engaged with someone else. He then remembers to go back to that guy to shake his hand about a minute later.

His goal against Chelsea in the league is the Athletic’s PL goal of the season.

It should be world goal of the season.

A box of tricks, a nightmare for defenders, fantastic decision making in the moments.

Best player we've ever had. Going to be mortified when he leaves in the summer.
There’s Mitoma, and there’s everyone else
Mitoma-cam
Mitoma cam missed his goal and the ball he pulled out of thin air on the left touchline.
Edit. I'm a tool. They are covered. Thanks Bozza

He was incredible when he came on last night. Scared the shit out of the Liverpool defence straight away. Incredible talent.
An absolute chasm between him and Adingra.

The whole move was brilliant. It began with Bart playing the ball out to Ayari, and as a Liverpool player went to cover the expected square pass to JP, he hit it diagonally to Baleba instead - Arne Slot commented that "a ball from the goalkeeper to a midfielder who pretended to play the ball to the outside and then played his midfielder was a great moment from them." Baleba drove half the length of the field before passing out to Mitoma. As soon as he's threaded that pass through to Welbeck, KM was off into the middle so found himself in the right place to produce that unbelievable finish.

We are so blessed to have been able to see him in his prime for so long. Feels like a privilege

Reports that Bayern may offer between €40m and €45m for Mitoma having sent scouts to Brighton to watch him several times already. https://www.getfootballnewsgermany.com/2025/bayern-munich-take-interest-in-brightons-kaoru-mitoma/

I will be the most gutted about a player leaving than I've ever been as an adult, it would eclipse Bobby Z, Knocky, Ali Mac and Pascal. However this is the best outcome, I would literally hate to see him in another EPL team.

He’s not going anywhere for 40-45m Euros.

Would surely cost a lot more than that. Despite his age, he'd surely fetch at least £60m.
The £90m Saudi bid is irrelevant, he didn't want to go and nobody else will pay that much.
But €40m (£33m) is a piss take.

I think double that before Tony would even pick up the phone.
