Mitoma was loaned to Belgium’s Winion Saint-Jilouaz upon transfer. He returned to Brighton after finishing his loan spell in June last year.
Making his debut in England last season, Mitoma has become Brighton’s ace player. He scored 10 goals and eight assists in 41 matches in all tournaments in the 2022/23 season. In the EPL, he scored seven goals and six assists in 33 matches. Thanks to Mitoma’s strong performance, Brighton ranked sixth in the league and became the first team to qualify for the UEFA Europa League.
Mitoma seemed to be continuing his momentum early in the season. He scored two consecutive offensive points against Luton Town and Wolverhampton Wanderers after the opening of the 2023/24 season. He also scored multiple goals in the sixth round against Bournemouth.
Mitoma, who seemed likely to show an unwavering performance in Brighton, has recently lost ground. Mitoma has not scored in nine consecutive league matches since scoring two goals against Bournemouth in September. If the scope is extended to the Europa League and Carabao Cup, it will be scoreless in 14 consecutive matches.
The same was true in the match against Burnley on Thursday. Mitoma was substituted at half-time in the match against Burnley, but failed to score again. Brighton failed to add three points as they drew 1-1 with Burnley in the relegation zone.
Brighton is eighth in the league with seven wins, five draws, and four losses (26 points). It is struggling with a number of injuries such as Ansu Fati and Pervis Estupignan. In this situation, Mitoma’s performance is desperate, but Mitoma has not been able to wake up from silence. It remains to be seen whether Mitoma can succeed in reviving.사설 토토사이트
