Kaoru Mitoma has signed a new deal with Brighton.

The Japan winger has penned a new contract with the Seagulls to 2027.

Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi said, It's great news. Kaoru is our top player."

Technical director David Weir added, Ensuring that a player of Kaoru's quality will remain with us for the long term is fantastic news.

Kaoru adapted to the Premier League last season and has quickly become one of our most important players.

His success is also a reflection of the work of the departments that have played a role in his recruitment, helped him gain important experience on loan and ultimately become a big part of Roberto's first team group.

I have no doubt that our supporters will be delighted with the news."
