- Troy Deeney recently commended Brighton’s Carlos Baleba for his exceptional performance against Ipswich Town
- Since joining Brighton in August 2023, Baleba has quickly established himself as a key player, earning accolades such as Player of the Month and Man of the Match
- With his impressive skills and growing recognition from pundits, Baleba is poised for a bright future in his second showing in the English Premier League
Troy Deeney, a seasoned English footballer known for his time at Watford and as a player-manager at Forest Green Rovers, has praised Brighton’s Carlos Baleba following his standout performance against Ipswich Town on Saturday.
Deeney, who captained Watford to Premier League promotion remarked, “Very rarely do you go to a Premier League match and someone looks a level above both teams,” particularly noting Baleba’s impressive ability to outmaneuver players like Kalvin Phillips, valued over £50 million.
The 2018/2019 FA cup runner up went further to say
“If he can keep that up, he will not be at Brighton much longer ”
Baleba was awarded the man of the match in the said game after a performance judged at 7.0 on sofa score ratings , with over 87% completed passes. Since joining this side last season from Lille OSC, the 20-year-old has quickly established himself as a vital cog in the midfield engine room.
In his first season with Brighton, he played 27 Premier league games, featured in six Europa leagues encounters earning two player of the match awards and a player of the month of March.
In the ongoing 2024/25 season, Baleba has continued to impress with his performances. He has made three appearances so far and recorded an impressive pass completion rate of 90%, showcasing his ability to maintain possession and dictate play.
His defensive contributions are equally noteworthy; he averages over three tackles per game and excels in duels, reflecting his tenacity and physicality on the pitch.
As Brighton navigates a competitive season, Carlos Baleba stands out as a player to watch closely. His contract with the side ends in 2028.
With Deeney’s endorsement and growing recognition from other football figures, it is clear that this young Cameroonian talent is not just making waves but is set to become a cornerstone of Brighton’s ambitions in the Premier League.
If he maintains his current form and continues to develop, Baleba could very well be on his way to becoming one of the league’s standout midfielders.
