Despite his missed out on almost four months of action, the British managed to score an incredible distance of 12 goals and 14 assists in 37 appearances.<\/p>\n<p>So fans need to be excited about the recent report that not only won a comparison with Hale Ender, but also has something in Thierry Henry-esque in his game, but also tie the club to wingers filling up with another Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"arsenal-39-s-winger-search\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Arsenal_winger_search\"><\/span>\n                        <strong>Arsenal winger search <\/strong><br \/>\n               <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before you reach the player in question, it&#8217;s worth seeing some of the other wingers that have been promoted for the move to Arsenal over the past few weeks, such as Brian Mbeumo and Jamie Gittens.<\/p>\n<p>The former could potentially be available for up to \u00a351 million in the coming weeks, and honestly, it&#8217;s probably more than a fair price. This season, Cameroon Dynamo scored 20 goals and provided nine assists.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Gittens appears likely to cost somewhere in the \u00a346 million region this summer. This doesn&#8217;t seem unreasonable either for the 20-year-old talent who has scored 12 goals and provided five assists in 48 games this season.<\/p>\n<p>However, neither of these players have been compared to both Saka and Henry, unlike Kaoru Mitoma.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, according to a recent report from Sky Sports German journalist Florian Plettenberg, Arsenal is currently interested in the Brighton &#038; Hove Albion star.<\/p>\n<p>Plettenberg revealed that the club has added Japan International &#8220;to the summer list&#8221; which is also interested in Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n<p>However, the most important obstacle to this transfer may be price, with last month&#8217;s report claiming that the Seagulls want up to \u00a380 million from Starwinger.<\/p>\n<p>This appears to be a costly and complicated transfer to take place this summer, but considering Mitoma&#8217;s abilities and comparisons with Saka, it may be worth fighting for.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-mitoma-compares-to-saka\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_Mytoma_compare_to_Saka\"><\/span>\n                        <strong>How does Mytoma compare to Saka?<\/strong><br \/>\n               <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>So it&#8217;s worth looking at this comparison to Saka and where it came from before Arsenal reaches some of the other reasons he might want to sign Mitoma this summer.<\/p>\n<p>    This example comes from FBREF, who saw players in similar positions in the Premier League this season and concluded that the Arsenal star was ranked top.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to understand how this conclusion was reached is to look at some of the underlying metrics that the pair is all per 90, including the expected goals of non-penalty, progressive carry, pass accuracy, live passes, tackle, and more.<\/p>\n<div class=\"table-container\">\n<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"\" align=\"\" summary=\"\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th colspan=\"3\" style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Moving &#038; Cat<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Statistics per 90<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Mitoma<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>of<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Non-penalty forecast targets<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>0.32<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>0.31<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Progressive Carry<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>5.05<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>5.00<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Accuracy passing<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>75.8%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>75.5%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Live Pass<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>33.4<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>33.5<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Tackle<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>1.56<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>1.51<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Ball recovery<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>3.43<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>3.65<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th colspan=\"3\" style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><em>All statistics via FBREF for the 24\/25 PL season<\/em><\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<p>In addition to his similarities with Gunners&#8217; Mercurial Number 7, there are a few reasons why Arteta and Co should sign like Seagulls&#8217; incredibly funny leftists.<\/p>\n<p>For example, in the Premier League alone, the &#8220;incomprehensible&#8221; talent dubbed by respected analyst Ben Matinson scored 10 goals and provided four assists in 36 appearances.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the Kawasaki-born maestro has proven himself capable of producing many finishes, but perhaps his most effective is seeing him peel off from the left, placing the ball in a far corner, and claiming that former teammate Christian Burgess would &#8220;finish it like Thierry Henry.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, it will require a considerable amount of financial effort, but Mitoma could be what Arsenal needs next season.
