In 18 months and since his transfer from LOSC to Brighton (€27 million), Carlos Baleba has established himself as one of the best midfielders in the Premier League. Currently at the CAN with Cameroon, the 21-year-old player is already panicking the biggest English clubs. The two Manchesters are notably on his trail. There is talk of a future transfer well in excess of €100 million, Premier League prices oblige. He does not lack ambition for the rest of his career.
“I watch the best a lot. I observe the positions, the movements, he confides to Sky Sports. My ambition is to become the best midfielder in the world. I just want to work hard, take advice, learn from other midfielders. Not just in the Premier League, because I learned a lot here. I look at Rodri and others, but I try to learn lessons from other championships like Ligue 1, Vitinha or Joao Neves. In La Liga, Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets. I try to learn every day. I’m learning. I watch them on YouTube.”
