Tchoutang
For me, Liverpool is the club that would suit him best,”
“And I’m not just saying that because they’re by far the best team in the Premier League this season and one of the strongest in Europe.
"Arne Slot’s system of play would suit him very well. The Reds like to attack, press and make quick transitions.
“We also know that this is a club that knows how to trust young players and give them responsibility.
“As for Chelsea, I’m not sure it would be a good choice. The team is having a decent season, but it’s a step below Liverpool or Arsenal.
“And I think that Baleba has what it takes to play for one of the best teams in England! He’s ready for it and he’s working hard for it.”
Tchoutang added:
“The transfer figures don’t concern him. He’s got a good head on his shoulders, he’s very well looked after, especially by his parents, and I don’t think he’ll be disturbed by these very high sums.
“The question is whether he’s ready to leave next summer for a big club.
“Staying one more season at Brighton wouldn’t be a problem. But I think he’s indeed ready to be transferred.
“This is his second season in England and if the best clubs in the country are interested in him, it is because they believe he has the level.”
