Japanese football journalist Masatoshi Mori believes Kaoru Mitoma should stay in the Premier League amid interest from Bayern Munich.
Mitoma, 28, has been heavily linked with a move to Germany in the summer. This would offer him Champions League football, with Brighton missing out on European competition for next season.
However, Mori believes the standard in the Premier League compared with the Bundesliga is better for Mitoma.
Speaking to BBC Radio Sussex's Albion Unlimited podcast, he said: "If Brighton had got into Europe, I think Mitoma would definitely have stayed. He's such an ambitious player, but Brighton has the same kind of ambition.
He has never spoke about a transfer, and I've asked him before about Champions League football being attractive. He just passed it off, laughing.
I have to say that Mitoma believes Premier League football is really good for him. Going to the Bundesliga and playing for Bayern Munich is massive, but I don't know if that's the best choice for him.
We will have to wait and see. I've always thought the Premier League is the hardest league for Japanese players, but Mitoma has changed that.
In the final game against Tottenham, he looked like the best player on the pitch. I personally want him to play in the Premier League a little bit more.
