They did not disclose the transfer fee, but British media reported that Brighton would pay Ligue 1 side Lille around 25 million pounds for the 19-year-old.
Having sold Alexis Mac Allister to Liverpool and Moises Caicedo to Chelsea earlier in the transfer window, Brighton were in the market for reinforcements in central midfield. "Carlos is a very good player. He’s very young but a specific player for our style. He will be the future of the club," head coach Roberto De Zerbi said.Brighton will host Newcastle United on Saturday in the Premier League.
