Folarin Balogun approaches Premier League move from Monaco to Tottenham
Summary

Folarin Balogun could be returning to the Premier League, with Tottenham reportedly offered the chance to sign the striker from Monaco. After an impressive three-season spell in Ligue 1, Balogun's future is uncertain. He had a standout performance at the 2026 World Cup, scoring three goals for the USMNT, although it was marred by a controversial red card against Bosnia and Herzegovina. Tottenham's interest is part of their strategy to bolster their attacking options as the new season approaches. The deal would need approval between the two clubs, and Arsenal may benefit financially from a sell-on clause.
