As the final hours of the transfer window tick away, a sense of relief is likely settling over Brighton & Hove Albion regarding the future of their midfielder, Carlos Baleba. The club had been fielding interest from Manchester United for the promising player, but any speculation about a move has now been firmly put to rest.

The man responsible for dousing the flames of rumor is head coach Fabian Hürzeler, who left absolutely no room for interpretation regarding Baleba's status. With resolute clarity, he declared the player's stay is not just probable, but absolutely certain. Hürzeler's confidence was so immense that he quipped he would express it with a number "higher than 100 percent" if such a thing existed.

While acknowledging that publicly sharing every internal feeling might not always be the wisest course, the coach could not contain his overall satisfaction. His final pronouncement made it clear that he is thoroughly content with the squad he has retained and built, effectively closing the book on any late-window drama for the Seagulls.
