Recently-appointed head coach of Cameroon, Marc Brys will be in the stands of the Falmer stadium this Thursday to watch Carlos Baleba Noom Quomah play against current Premier League leaders Manchester City before holding talks with the entourage of the player to convince the Brighton and Hove Albion teenage sensation to join the Indomitable Lions, kick442.com can exclusively report.
According to our sources Marc Brys has set his sights on getting the former LOSC Lille ace into the Lions den as soon as possible.
The Belgian tactician is expected to discuss with Baleba’s father (who recently moved to England) and his representative with hopes of getting the former U-17 Lions vice captain into the senior national team as soon as possible.
Baleba, 20, has made 22 Premier League appearances this season and is a regular in big games, during which he always puts in a shift as expected by coach Roberto De Zerbi.
Since switching to England after just a year at Lille, there has been a populous call for him to be called up to the Cameroon senior national team. Unfortunately, it didn’t happen under Rigobert Song as a section of fans have it that the player wasn’t interested at the time.
It is hoped that the new project in players and the approach of players selection will entice the player to return to international football which he hasn’t been part of since December 2020 when he last featured for the U-17 national team.
Meeting Baleba wil add to the list of players he has held talks with in preparations for the June FIFA window and beyond.
Brys was appointed to replace Rigobert Song only last month but has since met Jean Charles Castelleto, Andre Onana Onana, Ignatius Ganago amongst others.
Brys’ Cameroon are currently top of Group D of African qualifying for the 2026 World Cup, following a win over Mauritius and an away draw with Libya.
Cameroon’s Sports Minister Narcisse Mouelle Kombi said the mission for coach Brys is to qualify the Lions for the upcoming FIFA World Cup and ensure their commendable performance at the forthcoming Africa Cup of Nations.
