"Tottenham are understood to sense a potential opportunity to rival Manchester United for the transfer of Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba. Speaking to sources, it seems Brighton will still insist on their 100m valuation for Baleba, so that could make things complicated for Tottenham. It's also still not ruled out that United could move for Baleba as a priority, even if other big names like Elliot Anderson and Joao Gomes are now also being strongly considered as well."
"United and Spurs look like the main two teams to watch in the race for Baleba, with sources describing the 21-year-old as someone who's still highly regarded within the game. There's no doubt this season has been a bit trickier for Baleba so far, but it might just be a brief blip for the youngster. Brighton don't see Baleba's recent performances as a huge concern, they feel they still have a 100m asset there,"
Tottenham sense an opportunity to rival Manchester United for Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba after United's summer interest. Baleba has experienced a dip in form this season, but remains highly regarded and only 21. Brighton insist on a £100m valuation for Baleba, which could complicate potential moves. Manchester United remain a possible destination but are also considering Elliot Anderson and Joao Gomes as alternatives. Tottenham are monitoring Baleba and could pursue him if United focus elsewhere. If Baleba returns to his best form, he could justify Brighton's £100m valuation among current midfield options.
