Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal will both be playing Champions League football next season and are both in need of elite upgrades in the attacking areas.
Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs certainly need to consider improving their attack as, despite winning the Europa League, their form in the Premier League has been quite abysmal.
Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta’s team have come up short yet again in the Premier League title race and require greater firepower in attack.
One player who could be available for transfer this summer is Brighton and Hove Albion winger Kaoru Mitoma, who could be perfect for both North London clubs.
Tottenham and Arsenal should consider £42m Kaoru Mitoma move
Bayern Munich are targeting a move for Brighton’s Kaoru Mitoma and have been told a move could be possible for just £42 million, according to Florian Plettenberg.
The Seagulls are keen to keep the winger, however, top clubs are circling and could make it very tricky for them to keep hold of him.
TBR Football revealed back in February that Mitoma was open to leaving Brighton and that he was keen to play in the Champions League.
Tottenham and Arsenal would find it tricky competing with Bayern should the German champions make their move, but both Premier League clubs should be targeting the 28-year-old if he’s available for just £42m.
The Japanese international has been an outstanding performer over recent times in England’s top flight, with his manager Fabian Hurzeler describing him as a “special talent”.
Mitoma, who has been targeted by Saudi, has long been threatening to earn a big move away from the South Coast and this could be the summer it finally happens for him.
The Bundesliga currently looks like his most likely destination, although Spurs and the Gunners should at least be testing the waters to see if a deal is possible.
Kaoru Mitoma’s stats compared to Son Heung-min and Gabriel Martinelli
Mitoma could transform the left winger spot for both teams, offering an upgrade on Son Heung-min and Gabriel Martinelli.
The Brighton forward has matched Son’s goal tally having played fewer matches than the South Korean captain and beaten Martinelli’s goals.
Should the winger be added to a team with better players, his numbers could continue to improve – Postecoglou and Arteta should both be keen on him.
