Reports: U.S. Striker Folarin Balogun Is Headed on Transfer to Premier League Club Everton
Everton’s reported £40 million bid would give the U.S. striker a four-year contract, with personal terms still to be finalized before the deadline.
- On Monday, Everton reached a club-to-club agreement to sign United States striker Folarin Balogun from Monaco for £45 million fixed plus £5 million in add-ons.
- Balogun, 25, developed through Arsenal's academy before stints at Middlesbrough and Reims, gaining prominence this summer by scoring three goals for the United States at the World Cup.
- This transfer accelerated Monday after Guinea-Bissau international Beto completed a £15 million move to Fiorentina, prompting Everton to identify Balogun as a leading replacement target.
- Balogun is scheduled to travel to Merseyside on Tuesday for a medical, though personal terms remain pending before the 23:00 BST transfer deadline expires tonight.
- Everton manager David Moyes seeks multiple squad additions before the deadline, marking Balogun's return to the Premier League after scoring 31 goals in 91 appearances for Monaco since 2023.
