Mitoma believes this is a rare opportunity for the team and hopes many fans will come out to watch them live in these two matches. He is looking forward to a warm welcome in Japan and believes it will be a fantastic experience for both the players and the club to explore the country and all it has to offer.

Club captain Lewis Dunk expressed his enthusiasm for the trip, stating that it will be a crucial part of their pre-season preparations and they are thrilled to have two games in such an magnificent stadium. Dunk also mentioned how Mitoma’s presence in Japan has grown immensely since he joined the team and began making waves in the Premier League.
