Mitoma is among the top 5 most expensive Asian players currently.

Transfer value ofMitomaHis value has increased more than sevenfold since the beginning of the season. Specifically, in September 2022, the Japanese international was valued at just 3 million Euros. After a period of consistent brilliance while playing for Brighton, the status of the striker born in 1997 has changed dramatically.

After the 2022 World Cup, Mitoma became a phenomenon in world football. He played 11 matches, scoring 5 goals and providing 3 assists since December 2022. To date, Mitoma has scored 9 goals and provided 6 assists for Brighton in all competitions. The Japanese international is attracting attention from several big clubs, including Liverpool and Real Madrid.

Takehiro TomiyasuHe currently has a transfer value of 25 million Euros. The Japanese center-back had a very rapid rise last season. This season, however, Tomiyasu has lost his starting place at Arsenal. He cannot compete with Ben White for the right-back position. As for the center-back position, Tomiyasu is a backup to Gabriel and William Saliba.

Tomiyasu remains Japan's number one center-back at the moment. However, on the Asian stage, he has been surpassed by Kim Min-jae. English media reports suggest the 24-year-old defender is considering leaving Arsenal to get more regular playing time.

Daichi KamadaHe's having a fantastic season with Frankfurt. He's played 36 games, scored 13 goals and provided 5 assists. Asian media have focused heavily on Son Heung-min, Mitoma and Min-jae, overlooking Kamada, who is playing just as well.

Asia's top attacking midfielder is valued at €30 million. Kamada has played exceptionally well in the Bundesliga for the past four seasons, and this season he has shone even brighter. Kamada has attracted the attention of several major clubs in England.

Career ofKim Min-jaeHis life changed when he joined Napoli in the summer of 2022. To date, the South Korean center-back has played 35 matches, becoming a key player in Napoli's Serie A dominance and their run to the Champions League quarter-finals. Coach Luciano Spalletti declared Min-jae the best center-back in the world right now.

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

Present value ofSon Heung-minHis value has dropped to just 60 million Euros. Two years ago, he was valued at 90 million Euros and was among the top 10 most expensive players in the world. Age is partly responsible for Son's declining value. However, the biggest impact comes from the Tottenham star's poor form since the start of this season.

Son has only scored 10 goals and provided 4 assists in 37 appearances across all competitions this season. That's far 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.
