Folarin Balogun, a United States international centre-forward, is reportedly seeking a move back to English football. Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa, Everton, Crystal Palace, Newcastle United, and Sunderland are all looking at the player. His current club, Monaco, would prefer to keep the 24-year-old and will make a deal difficult, with an asking price of approximately £43m. Several Premier League clubs have been informed that Balogun is available for a package of that value. One source states that clubs across Europe have been tracking Balogun since his time at Arsenal and that a move is expected this summer. The same source noted that the player desires a Premier League transfer, even though Monaco sources are minimizing the situation's significance. A sale would also benefit his former club, Arsenal. The club has a 17.5% sell-on clause that could earn them approximately £7.5m, and they do not have a buy-back option. In the 2025/2026 Ligue 1 season, Balogun scored 13 goals and provided 5 assists in 30 appearances. The striker has 29 caps and 11 goals for the United States. He is under contract with the French club until June 2028, having joined in August 2023 for a fee of €30 million. His current market value, according to Transfermarkt, is €40.00m, while some reports from June 2026 estimated his transfer value at €23.8 million.
