Carlos Baleba has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Tottenham, with the Premier League side said to be eyeing a move for the Brighton midfielder. Speculation is gathering pace as the club looks to bolster its squad ahead of a crucial second half of the season. Tottenham remain optimistic, but the deal is not without hurdles. Liverpool, Manchester City and Man Utd continue to monitor developments and could yet re-enter the race if negotiations stall or valuation gaps remain unresolved. So far this season, Tottenham are steady at both ends (1.83 goals scored per game, 0.67 goals conceded per game). The role for Carlos Baleba would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Reports suggest Tottenham are monitoring Harvey Elliott, Brahim Diaz and Rafael Leao whereas Brighton have not been associated with other players at this stage.
