Brighton: Al Nassr end attempts to sign Seagulls winger Kaoru Mitoma

Al Nassr have ended their attempts to sign Brighton's Kaoru Mitoma after the Seagulls made it clear they have no intention of selling the Japan forward.

The south coast club turned down a 65m euro (£54.42m) bid from the Saudi Pro-League side, but had expected a further offer.

However, in additional communication between the two clubs, Brighton underlined they had no need to sell the 27-year-old and would not be changing their stance, no matter what was offered.

Brighton also felt Mitoma had no interest in leaving the Amex Stadium. Consequently, Al Nassr now accept the deal will not happen.
