Brighton & Hove Albion have earned a reputation as one of the best talent-developing clubs in the Premier League since their promotion in 2017.
The club's shrewd approach to global scouting has enabled the Seagulls to bring in lesser-known names from across the world with the potential of selling them on for a major transfer profit, all while the team itself continues to go from strength to strength.
Chelsea's summer move for Moises Caicedo set a new Premier League transfer record as they paid Brighton £115 million ($146 million) to bring the Ecuador international to Stamford Bridge in August.
However, 2024 is set to be another busy year in the transfer market, with Japanese winger Kaoru Mitoma the latest name to be linked with a possible exit, after an impressive 12 months at the club.
For now, Mitoma has reportedly been rewarded with a new contract that will boost his earnings and potentially force any suitors into making significant transfer bids if they want to sign him.
