Kaoru Mitoma has left many Premier League defenders mesmerised with his dribbling skills. The Brighton & Hove Albion winger only became a regular in the side post-World-Cup but has already become one of the most in-form players in the league.
His trajectory to the Premier League has been unorthodox. JJ Bull explains why Mitoma only became a professional at the age of 21, and how a University degree has shaped his playing style.

Why didn't he call Mitoma a dribbly boy? I was waiting for it the entire video
bluelock
So he dribbles like Messi.
JJ is so awkward, really makes for good entertainment.
For me the most exciting team in the Premier league now is Brighton. They play good football.
Opponent defenders have begun to know about Mittoma drible Pettern. When he dribbles, his physical is weak, so he does too much fake motion. The more he plays game, the harder it will be for him. So I said he should watch next year too, but Japanese fans didn't agree with my mean.
Love a good ol JJ review 🤤
That Lampard shade was unnecessary 🤣
Spelt Gilmour wrong
"Let's talk about Kuarou Mitoma" at the beginning. Kuarou? 🤣
He's what chelsea expected mudryk to be
Perfect Manchester city player
From Kaoru to Kowaiiru for any Prems RB.
The way he pronounces his name 💀
We say it every video but this host is so so good at explain football.
there are Nobel prize winning scientists whose theses have been discussed less than Mitoma's
Funny guy
Surely it's a dissertation and not a thesis. Not that it makes it unimpressive. How many footballers would take the academic route?
Probably 80 dribbling on fifa ..yeah ? 😅😂
You went from a decent channel to oversimplification galore
I love this guy!
He’s a really special player, he seriously understands how to play the game, his technique is insane, give him another season and he will be the next son (not a race thing but I think they play quite similarly)
4:15 "…as they always were under Lampard" 😂 You just couldn't resist, could you JJ? 😄
Brighton scouting team just so so good on finding unknown talent. They deserve all the praise too
What's fun it's that you look like you just came off the bed, that makes me laugh everytime
Easy answer: he's got a degree in dribblenomics ☝️
he agreed the contract with kawasaki in 2018, the contract just didn't start til 2020
Garbiel Martinelli must be one of the few exception to good dribblers looking up. He's looking down 90% of the time hahaha
He dribbles alot like Sane Does.
why does JJ bull talk like that
