Kaoru Mitoma continues injury rehab amid AC Milan transfer rumors

Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Kaoru Mitoma continues his rehabilitation following a hamstring injury sustained in May. Manager Fabian Hürzeler stated that while Mitoma is working hard and returning to the pitch, the club must remain patient regarding his official return to competitive play.

Amid his recovery, reports have emerged linking Mitoma to a potential transfer to AC Milan. The Italian club has reportedly identified Mitoma as a candidate to replace Rafael Leão, who is being pursued by Aston Villa and Galatasaray. While AC Milan's ownership has expressed interest in Mitoma's technical ability and international reputation, some reports suggest concerns regarding his age and current fitness levels as they evaluate the investment.
