Mitoma in the top 5 most expensive Asian players at present

Transfer value ofMitomahas increased more than 7 times compared to the beginning of the season. Specifically, in September 2022, the Japanese player cost only 3 million Euros. After a period of continuous brilliance in Brighton's shirt, the position of the striker born in 1997 has changed.

After the 2022 World Cup, Mitoma has become a phenomenon in world football. He has played 11 matches, scored 5 goals and had 3 assists since December 2022. To date, Mitoma has scored 9 goals and had 6 assists for Brighton in all competitions. The Japanese international is being watched by many big clubs, including Liverpool and Real Madrid.

Takehiro Tomiyasucurrently has a transfer value of 25 million Euros. The Japanese midfielder had made rapid progress last season. This season, Tomiyasu has lost his starting position at Arsenal. He cannot compete with Ben White in the right-back position. As for the center-back position, Tomiyasu is a backup for Gabriel and William Saliba.

Tomiyasu is still the number one center back for Japan at the moment. But in Asia, he has been surpassed by Kim Min-jae. British media reported that the 24-year-old center back is considering leaving Arsenal to play more regularly.

Daichi Kamadais having a great season with Frankfurt. He has played 36 matches, scored 13 goals and had 5 assists. The Asian press has focused a lot on Son Heung-min, Mitoma and Min-jae but forgot the name Kamada who is playing equally well.

Asia's number one attacking midfielder is currently valued at 30 million Euros. Kamada has played well in the last 4 seasons in the Bundesliga. This season in particular, he has shone exceptionally. Kamada has caught the attention of many big clubs in England.

Career ofKim Min-jaechanged his life when he joined Napoli in the summer of 2022. To date, the Korean midfielder has played 35 matches, being a mainstay in Napoli's journey to dominate Serie A and reach the Champions League quarter-finals. Coach Luciano Spalletti declared Min-jae the best defender in the world right now.

According to the latest update on Transfer Markt, Min-jae's transfer fee has increased to 50 million Euros. The 1.9 m tall centre-back is one of the hot commodities in the upcoming transfer window.

Present value ofSon Heung-minonly 60 million Euros. Two years ago, he was valued at 90 million Euros and was in the top 10 most expensive players in the world. Age is partly responsible for Son's decline in value. However, the biggest impact is the Tottenham star's poor form since the beginning of this season.

Son has scored just 10 goals and provided four assists in 37 appearances across all competitions this season. That is too little for the South Korean captain to maintain his status as a top European star. The rise of Mitoma and Min-jae means Son is no longer the sole pride of Asia.
