Brighton transfer news – Close to signing Carlos Baleba
Things have been relatively quiet on the transfer front since Brighton finally sold Moises Caicedo to Chelsea (probably because they look better without him). However, recent news indicates that manager Roberto De Zerbi is keen to use that money wisely.
According to an update from talkSPORT, Brighton and Hove Albion are close to completing the signing of Carlos Baleba from Lille. The 19-year-old from Cameroon is set to cost the Seagulls £25m – A fee which seems measly given how much they scammed Chelsea for Caicedo.
