Brighton Star Attracting Interest From Saudi Arabia

Backed by funds from the country’s sovereign wealth funds, a quarter of Saudi clubs have been flexing their muscles in the transfer window this summer.

They have already snared away several players from clubs in Europe on big contracts and are looking to get involved for even more.

The Premier League’s financial might has allowed players in England’s top flight to resist moving to the Middle East barring a few exceptions.

But according to Italian journalist Rudy Galetti, a Saudi club have their eyes on Brighton winger Mitoma this summer.

The 26-year-old winger had a solid first season at Brighton, scoring seven times and laying on six assists in 33 Premier League appearances.

He has been expected to continue to develop at the Amex Stadium but this has been claimed that a Saudi club have shown an interest in him.

Brighton have already sold Alexis Mac Allister and are in talks to sell Moises Caicedo this summer.

They would be keen to hold on to Mitoma and are likely to be hopeful that the player would not be interested in a move to Saudi Arabia at this stage of his career.
