Arsenal are aware of Chelsea being interested in Folarin Balogun this summer. This is with the striker now open to joining the blues in this window.
That is according to a report from the Evening Standard. It notes that the Gunners want £50 million for the 22-year-old phenomenal striker as the deadline looms.
Arteta described his performance as ‘phenomenal‘. However, the Arsenal boss has been unable to find a place for the youngster. That is in his squad in the Premier League. And with that, he is surely a leading candidate to bring in some funds. That is ofcourse in the final days of the window.
Balogun open to a move to Chelsea with keen interest from both sides
Arsenal have spent big money in this window. And they would probably ideally like to bring in some funds. This is before the deadline as they plan further ahead.
Balogun is, so far, unproven in the Premier League so far. And although he has had an injury this summer. It does seem that he is going to be well down the pecking order if he sticks around at the Emirates.
Mikel Arteta has the likes of Eddie Nketiah, Leandro Trossard and Kai Havertz. That is amongst those who can provide cover for Gabriel Jesus.
So if they receive a £50 million bid for Balogun in the latter stages of the window. It is surely a no-brainer to let him go. This is regardless of whether that offer comes from another Premier League club.
