Brighton ace wanted by Arsenal and Liverpool?

Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Carlos Baleba has emerged as a potential target for Arsenal and Liverpool ahead of the summer transfer window.

The Gunners and Reds are on the hunt for a new holding midfielder and they could focus on someone with Premier League experience.

Baleba has had just one season with Brighton after his move from Lille, but he has already impressed the scouts from both of those teams.

Brighton are open to selling him for around £55 million and it is claimed that they could receive similar proposals in the next transfer window.

Arsenal are likely to part ways with Thomas Partey at the end of the season despite his impressive performances since his return from injury.

The Ghanaian has been injury-prone for most of his Gunners career and he is likely to be sold with his contract expiring in June next year.

Liverpool could also seek an upgrade on Wataru Endo who has struggled for consistency in the back end of the Premier League season.
