According to Talksport, Tottenham are battling Arsenal and Liverpool to sign Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba.
The four-cap Cameroonian international has been a constant presence in the Seagulls’ midfield and a major component of Fabian Hürzeler’s successful playing style this season.
Tottenham have emerged as a leading possibility to sign the 20-year-old, with Talksport stating that Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou is a ‘huge admirer’ of the midfield ace.
According to the article, they will face stiff competition from North London rivals Arsenal and Liverpool, both of which are interested in signing the former Lille player.

However, they will face stiff competition from North London rivals Arsenal and Liverpool, both of which are interested in signing the former Lille player, according to reports.
Despite continuous interest from Spurs, Arsenal, and Liverpool, Talksport reports that the Seagulls are not under any financial pressure to sell their prized possession, as the club presently holds the Premier League profit record.
According to the article, Baleba is one of the players being linked with a move away from the AMEX Stadium in light of Brighton’s business plan under Tony Bloom.
Baleba still has four years left on his contract with the Sussex club, valued at €22 million (£18 million) by Transfermarkt, although Brighton are anticipated to demand a much bigger amount if they do cash in.
Tottenham wants Baleba.
After Moises Caicedo was sold to Chelsea for a Premier League record amount, Baleba was brought in as a replacement last summer.
The Cameroonian struggled to keep up with the Premier League’s intensity at first, going hot and cold. This season, the former Lille player has settled in and been acclimated to the League.
He has established himself as one of Fabian Hürzeler’s most significant players in the squad, and Brighton fans are ecstatic with his recent improvement.
Baleba could progress further at Spurs, where Ange Postecoglou is known for instilling a high degree of precision in his midfielders.
Arsenal and Liverpool are two other clubs that could help the player’s development, although Tottenham appear to have a better chance of providing regular first-team action to the midfielder.
However, Brighton are expected to want a significant sum for Baleba, and it remains to be seen whether of the interested clubs will be willing to break the bank to sign the midfielder.
