Deal Confirmed: Sky Port Officially Reviews a Lucrative Deal Between Kaoru Mitoma and Newcastle United FC…
In a landmark move that has sent ripples through the Premier League, Sky Port has officially confirmed that Brighton & Hove Albion FC’s star winger Kaoru Mitoma has signed a four-year deal with Newcastle United FC. The Japanese international, known for his blistering pace, quick feet, and technical brilliance, bids an emotional farewell to his Brighton teammates as he embarks on a new chapter in his footballing journey.
The deal, reportedly worth over £45 million, marks one of the most lucrative player transfers in Brighton’s history. Mitoma, who joined the Seagulls in 2021, quickly rose to prominence under manager Roberto De Zerbi, playing a key role in Brighton’s attacking setup and contributing significantly in both goals and assists. His departure, though anticipated amid rising interest from several top-tier clubs, has still left fans and teammates alike in a reflective mood.
Sky Port’s review of the deal highlights Newcastle United’s strategic push to strengthen their squad ahead of a busy campaign, with domestic and European competitions on the horizon. Eddie Howe, the Magpies’ manager, sees Mitoma as a vital addition to the side’s attacking options. “Kaoru brings dynamism, intelligence, and the ability to change the game in an instant — he’s exactly the kind of player we need as we aim higher,” Howe commented.
As Mitoma shared an emotional goodbye at Brighton’s training ground, players and staff formed a guard of honour. Teammates paid tribute to his professionalism and humility, with captain Lewis Dunk calling him “one of the most talented and humble players I’ve ever shared the pitch with.”
Brighton & Hove Albion now face the challenge of adjusting to life without one of their standout performers. The club, however, has built a strong reputation for talent identification and development, and sources close to the club suggest that reinvestment from the Mitoma transfer will be used to strengthen multiple areas of the squad. With emerging talents like Julio Enciso, Simon Adingra, and Facundo Buonanotte waiting in the wings, the Seagulls remain confident in their direction.
Chairman Tony Bloom acknowledged Mitoma’s contributions in a club statement: “Kaoru has been a fantastic ambassador for the club both on and off the pitch. We are proud of his achievements and wish him the very best at Newcastle. This move reflects our model — developing talent and enabling players to take the next step in their careers.”
For Mitoma, the move to Newcastle represents an exciting opportunity to showcase his abilities on a larger stage. As he dons the famous black and white stripes, the Premier League awaits what promises to be another thrilling chapter in the career of one of Asia’s brightest football stars.
Meanwhile, for Brighton, the page turns. A new chapter begins — filled with promise, potential, and the unwavering support of a fan base that has learned to expect resilience and renewal.
