South Korean winger Son Heung-min is recognized as the first king of Asian football, has won the Premier League Golden Boot, and is Tottenham's all-time Premier League assist leader. Japanese winger Kaoru Mikasa was originally called by fans as expected to become the new king of Asia, but after a major injury last season, Kaoru Mikasa's upward momentum came to an abrupt halt, and his value fell after reaching half a billion euros.
The German transfer recently updated the value of Premier League players, among which Brighton's 27-year-old Japanese international Kaoru Mikasa is still worth 45 million euros, and before last year's injury, Kaoru Mikasa's value was as high as 50 million euros, it seems that it is the peak of Kaoru Mikasa, and it is unlikely to catch up with Son Xingmin's pace in the future.
Note: Son Heung-min's career peak was as high as 90 million euros (December 2020).
Kaoru Mikasa, 27 years old, joined Brighton from Kawasaki Frontale for a transfer fee of 3 million euros in the summer window of 2021, and immediately went on loan to Saint-Gilloise United for a year after joining, and officially landed in the Premier League in the summer window of 2022 to fight for the Seagulls.
Kaoru Mikasa is 1.78 meters tall, a right-footed player who plays as a left winger and has a contract with Brighton until 2027. So far this season, Kaoru Mikasa has made 17 appearances for Brighton, 15 of which have started, contributing three goals and two assists, and his form is nowhere near as good as it was before his injury.
