Chelsea are reportedly working on a potential move for dynamic young midfielder Carlos Baleba of Brighton & Hove Albion, signalling yet another ambitious attempt to reinforce their engine room ahead of the next transfer window.
The 20-year-old has quickly become one of the most talked-about rising talents in the Premier League, showcasing a blend of athleticism, ball-carrying power, and defensive awareness that has caught the eye of several top clubs. CHELSEA, in particular, are said to view him as a long-term piece in their evolving midfield project.
Baleba’s profile—press-resistant, explosive, and tactically adaptable—fits seamlessly into the club’s vision of constructing a young, high-energy squad capable of playing with intensity and verticality. His ability to operate either as a ball-winner or progressive carrier would give Chelsea versatility they’ve struggled to find consistently.
A move to Stamford Bridge would offer the Cameroonian prospect a platform to accelerate his development while contributing immediately to first-team plans.
Could he End up at Chelsea?
Brighton have developed a reputation for selling talent at the right time and for the right price—but not cheaply. Their model is built on extracting maximum value, and Baleba, given his age and potential ceiling, would likely command a substantial fee.
Brighton have done deals with Chelsea in previous windows, they will accept a big offer for the star and to be honest, The board will be willing to pay a massive amount to try and get a deal done.
Will Baleba be a worthwhile signing?
If signed, Baleba could rotate with or complement Caicedo in the midfield’s physical role. His ability to break lines with aggressive ball-carrying would relieve pressure from Fernández while giving CHELSEA more dynamism in transitions.
He has alot of development to do before he can gain a regular starting spot in this side, but in the long-term, he is showing that he could be a worthwhile signing.
