Carlos Baleba, the 20-year-old midfielder for Brighton & Hove Albion, is attracting serious interest from several top Premier League clubs, including Arsenal, Aston Villa, Liverpool, and Tottenham. After impressing in his debut season at Lille, Brighton secured his services for £23 million in 2023, positioning him as a replacement for Moisés Caicedo, who moved to Chelsea. Since then, Baleba has quickly adapted to the Premier League and become a key player for Brighton, featuring in 46 matches and contributing to four goals this season.
Baleba’s performances have caught the attention of clubs seeking midfield reinforcements. Arsenal are reportedly eyeing him as a potential successor to Thomas Partey, while Liverpool view him as a long-term solution for their midfield, with Ryan Gravenberch and Wataru Endo currently rotating in the defensive role. Aston Villa, despite several summer signings, are also interested in strengthening their midfield, while Tottenham, who are focusing on signing top young talent, are looking to add depth after parting ways with several midfielders.
Baleba, under contract with Brighton until 2028, may be targeted for a winter transfer as these Premier League giants closely monitor his progress. Whether any of these clubs will make a formal move remains to be seen, but his potential makes him a highly sought-after player in the market.
