Kaoru Mitoma attracts interest from Liverpool and Tottenham

Liverpool and Tottenham are reportedly monitoring Brighton & Hove Albion winger Kaoru Mitoma as his current contract approaches its final months. The 29-year-old Japanese international has seen his contract negotiations with Brighton stall, leading to speculation that the club may seek a cut-price sale in January to avoid losing him as a free agent in 2027.

Tottenham's interest is linked to manager Roberto De Zerbi, who previously coached Mitoma at Brighton. Liverpool is also considering the winger to bolster their attacking depth. However, both clubs face significant competition from other major teams, including Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, and Atletico Madrid.
