Kaoru Mitoma And Crysencio Summerville Scout Report 2022/2023 – How Both Players Have Reignited Their Clubs’ Form

Kaoru Mitoma and Crysencio Summerville are both very new to their clubs.

Mitoma arrived at Brighton in the summer, after a year out on loan with Union SG, for a relatively small fee of £3 million.

The Japanese winger has earned a call-up to the World Cup due to his recent superb performances and fine form for Japan.

On the other side, Summerville was signed for a similar fee of £1.5 million from Feyenoord as a promising 18-year-old and joined the Leeds under-21s.

The Dutchman earned 6 appearances for the main squad but has only properly broken into the team this season.

While these players have different backgrounds, there are many similarities to their current situation.

The pair have both benefited from a period of time to settle in with the squad and get used to the intensity of the Premier League, as well as a change in management.

Roberto De Zerbis arrival at Brighton and a recent change to a 4-2-3-1 have given Mitoma a slot at his favoured position on the left wing.

On the other hand, Jesse Marsch has brought in young, dynamic players in the front line for a quick and direct attacking approach, which suits Summerville perfectly.

Mitoma earned his first Premier League start in the 4-1 demolition of Chelsea on the 29th of October, while Summerville made his first start at left wing on the very same day, where he scored a last-minute winner against Liverpool at Anfield.

Both impressive performances carried over into the next week, with both players scoring in their teams wins, and this could be the start of a continued run in the starting eleven for their sides.

This tactical analysis will take the form of a scout report, which will summarise the skills both Kaoru Mitoma and Crysencio Summerville share.

The analysis will highlight how they both have been important to the winning runs of both teams, and the different ways in which they have done so.

The

Shared Strengths

As stated above, both of these players prefer to stay wide on the left flank, from where they can carry the ball into the box and drive at the full-back.

Mitoma and Summerville are both extremely dynamic ball carriers, whose explosive nature and low centre of gravity allow them to dribble past defenders with ease.

The map below shows how often Mitoma carries the ball into the box, based on his 2 Premier League starts this season.

Most of these penalty box entries come from the left side, showing just how wide Mitoma was positioned during settled attacks.

The 25-year-old winger is extremely agile on the ball, making him extremely unpredictable for opposing players.

It is impossible to press Mitoma, as he has the ability to receive under pressure and spin out of danger in any circumstance.
