All Mitoma does is dribble. He doesn't score at a good clip nor does he provide assists.

He'd be no more than a headache here.

Think this is harsh he does a lot of good creative work for Brighton it might not always be the assist on paper but definitely causes teams problems.

And we definitely will not be paying the premium for a level above.

Also a fair few dribbly players out there lack end product...it's why there isn't many and the ones with end product are already at the truly elite clubs....other than Wirtz and he's going Bayern.

Not sure where you are getting your stats from, but according to Fbref, he and Sarr are very similar across the board, with the biggest differences in successful dribbles (Rios twice as much), Tackles (Rios 50% more attempted with a higher success%), Errors (Rios has 0, Sarr averages 0.08 per 90) and xG (Sarr almost 3 times higher, however they are equal on actual goals).

Also from fbref.

I suspect you're looking at 2023/24 for Sarr if goals are equal. I was comparing Sarr 2024/25.

Successful take-ons 1.03 per 90 vs Sarr 0.68, but for whatever reason it's not leading to more xG / xA involvement.

Unsuccessful take-ons 1.81 per 90 vs Sarr 0.85, and incomplete passes 8.1 per 90 vs Sarr 7.0, so both of those are putting him behind on the possession stakes.

Tackles fbref shows 1.86 tackles won per 90 from 3.35 attempted, Sarr 1.95 from 2.80. Intercepts 1.19 vs Sarr 1.44.

Goal conversion rate is impressive for Rios with 3 goals from 1.2 xG vs Sarr 1 goal from 2.1 xG, but those are both pretty small sample sizes.

Anyway overall I agree they are pretty similar stats-wise but I would have Sarr ahead of Rios overall.

I did the last 365 days for both rather than season.
