Lille midfielder Carlos Baleba is now stalling over a move to Brighton after first holding talks with Nottingham Forest. Now, his future appears uncertain with the Seagulls looking at other midfield options.
According to TalkSPORT, the Reds were keen to sign the midfielder. Furthermore, it’s claimed that Forest held talks with Baleba but he wasn’t keen on a City Ground switch.
Baleba may now wind up staying in France. Brighton are interested in Arsenal midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga.
The 19-year-old has been with Lille since 2022. He signed for the club from Brasseries in Cameroon and he’s made just 22 senior appearances for the Ligue 1 outfit.
Last season, the defensive midfielder made 19 appearances in Ligue 1. He registered two assists and earned some praise from Lille star Remy Cabella who called him ‘incredible’.
