Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder, Carlos Baleba believes that he can become ” a starter” for the team.
Baleba has made three appearances this season of which he started in their Carabao Cup win over Crawley Town then 1-1 draw at Arsenal in the Premier League, following a substitute appearance in their home win over Manchester United.
“We have a good record going into the international break, seven points from three games,” reflected Baleba after an unbeaten start to the season but has vowed that the team will be ready to extend that run after the international break.
“After the break we will come back with our heads high, with cool heads and we will continue to battle hard to win matches.”
Baleba joined Brighton from Lille in August 2023 but failed to contribute any goals or assists last season in 37 appearances, compared to his one assist in three appearances already this season.
The 20 year-old Cameroon international though made just 16 starts last season, but has iterated his belief that he can become a regular starter in his second season with the club.
“I have ambitions to be a starter in this team but it is not just starting games which will make me into a great player. “It’s being focused, the mentality, what I do on the pitch, working hard.
“The role as a starter will come with that. “And it’s helping my team to win games and be high up in the table.”
