Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba when the transfer window reopens in January.
They are not the only club keen on him, and they will face competition from Manchester United, as per SportsBoom. The Brighton midfielder is unlikely to be a cheap acquisition, and he could cost a club record fee for the London side.
It remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done.
Tottenham could use Carlos Baleba
There is no doubt that they could use the 21-year-old. He has all the tools to develop into a future star. He has already established himself as a key player for Brighton, and he has the ability to play for the biggest clubs in the world.
His ability to beat the press, control the tempo of the game, drive the team and dribble his way out of trouble makes him the complete central midfielder. He will only improve with coaching and experience. He could transform Tottenham in the middle of the park.
Can Spurs sign Baleba?
It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. Tottenham have done well to improve their squad during the summer transfer window, but they need to improve further if they want to fight for major trophies and compete with elite clubs regularly.
Signing one of the best young talents in the Premier League would be a masterstroke from them. It will be interesting to see if they can beat the competition for his signature.
The 21-year-old used to play as a winger as a youth player, and he was nicknamed Maradona because of his outstanding dribbling skills. Tottenham are lacking a player with his skill set, and he could make a huge difference for them.
