The Gunners signed Ben White from Brighton two seasons ago. They have also shown a lot of interest in Moise Caicedo, making three bids in the January transfer window.
Arsenal’s interest in the midfielder is expected to continue into the summer but the north Londoners have also been linked with another Seagulls star on Sunday.
The player in question is Kaoru Mitoma.
The Japan international has impressed this season and it’s easy to imagine him becoming the latest of many Seagulls stars to be poached by a big six club, with Arsenal one of the main sides linked.
And now, Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on the Japan star’s future:
“Kaoru Mitoma is the latest name being linked with the likes of Arsenal and Manchester United, but Brighton will not sell the whole squad!” Romano said.
“We always have rumours on their players, I think it’s most likely to see at least one midfielder gone as they will try to keep Mitoma, who is really appreciated by Roberto De Zerbi.”
Should Brighton only wish to sell one of their top stars this summer, Arsenal may be better served targeting Caicedo as their midfield is much weaker than their wide areas at present.
