Arsenal is reportedly keen on signing Carlos Baleba, the dynamic Cameroonian midfielder currently excelling at Brighton & Hove Albion.
The Gunners are looking to strengthen their midfield as Jorginho and Thomas Partey face contract expirations next summer.
Baleba joined Brighton from Lille for £23.2 million in August 2023, stepping in as a direct replacement for Moisés Caicedo. Since his arrival, the 20-year-old has quickly established himself as one of the Premier League’s brightest young talents.
His performances have been characterized by impressive ball control, tactical awareness, and an ability to dictate play from the midfield. Notably, he was named Player of the Month for Brighton in September, underscoring his impact on the team.
This season, Baleba has made significant strides, notching his first Premier League goal and contributing to Brighton’s attacking play in his eight appearances for the Seagulls. His versatility allows him to operate effectively in both defensive and box-to-box roles, making him an ideal fit for Arsenal’s style under Mikel Arteta.
According to reports from Talksport, the Gunners are not alone in their pursuit; Liverpool and Manchester United have also expressed interest, highlighting Baleba’s rising stock in European football.
With an interest fee still undisclosed, it wouldn’t be surprising if Brighton places a hefty price tag on the midfielder, who is under contract until 2028 with an option for an additional year.
With multiple clubs vying for his signature, Baleba’s future remains a hot topic as the January transfer window approaches. As Arsenal looks to solidify its midfield depth, securing a player of Baleba’s caliber could be pivotal in their quest for silverware this season.
