Liverpool Identified as the Best Fit for Carlos Baleba, Says Bernard Tchoutang

Former Cameroon international Bernard Tchoutang believes that Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba would thrive at Liverpool if he makes a move this summer, as per Africa Foot.  

The 21-year-old, who has emerged as one of the Premier League’s standout midfielders this season, has drawn interest from several top English clubs, including Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea, and Manchester City.

Baleba’s Breakthrough Season at Brighton

Since joining Brighton from Lille in 2023 for €27 million, Baleba has steadily developed into a key figure for the Seagulls. Under the management of Fabian Hürzeler, the Cameroonian has elevated his game, showcasing his versatility as a dynamic box-to-box midfielder.

His performances have been crucial in keeping Brighton in contention for a European spot, further solidifying his reputation as one of the most promising midfielders in the league. Tchoutang, who represented Cameroon 23 times and won the 2000 Africa Cup of Nations, spoke highly of Baleba’s rapid progress. 

“There is no doubt he is one of the best midfielders in the Premier League this season. His game has reached another level, and he is a major reason why Brighton is performing well,” he told Africa Foot.

What Makes Baleba Stand Out?

Baleba’s skill set has drawn comparisons to some of Cameroon’s legendary midfielders. Tchoutang likened him to Jean II Makoun and Marc-Vivien Foé for his ball-winning abilities, while also comparing his physicality to Eric Djemba-Djemba and Alex Song. He emphasized that Baleba’s completeness—his ability to defend, break lines, contribute offensively, and dictate play—makes him a highly sought-after talent.

“He is not just good at one or two things; he excels in multiple aspects of the game. His passing, dribbling, defensive work, and ability to score goals make him a modern midfielder. He can read the game very well, which is why big clubs are interested in him.”

Liverpool Seen as the Ideal Destination

With Brighton reportedly valuing Baleba at €138.5 million, the question is whether he is ready for a move to a bigger club. Tchoutang firmly believes he is.

“It’s his second season in England, and if the best clubs in the country are after him, it’s because they know he is at their level.”

When asked about the best destination for Baleba, Tchoutang was clear: “Liverpool is the club that would suit him best! They play with intensity, pressing, and quick transitions. It’s also a club that trusts young players and gives them responsibility. That is exactly what Baleba needs to reach his full potential.”

What Next for Baleba?

With a host of Premier League giants monitoring his situation, Baleba’s next move will be a major talking point in the upcoming transfer window. If Brighton holds firm on their valuation, it could limit the number of clubs willing to make an offer. However, with Liverpool in need of a long-term midfield solution, the Cameroonian could be a perfect addition to their squad.
