West Ham have now joined the race to sign Folarin Balogun

West Ham United’s hopes of another deal with Arsenal have been boosted as rival bidders struggle in the race for star Folarin Balogun.

With the futures of Michail Antonio and Gianluca Scamacca uncertain. West Ham have been linked with a host of strikers. This is in the summer transfer window.

West Ham are yet to sign a single player this summer. One of only three Premier League clubs yet to welcome any new arrivals.

That looks set to change after Arsenal finally completed the £105m signing of Declan Rice at the club.

The first tranche of money from Arsenal is just over £33m. But in reality that translates to a transfer budget of around £133m for the Hammers – here’s how.

Folarin Balogun targeted by a host of clubs but West Ham highly interested

The 22-year-old US international spent last season on loan under West Ham fan Will Still at Reims. That too by scoring 22 goals in 39 appearances.

According to the likes of Football.London, West Ham are showing genuine interest in bringing Balogun. That is to the London Stadium from Arsenal.

The trouble for David Moyes is that a host of other clubs have been linked with serious interest in the star too.

But West Ham hopes of a second deal with Arsenal. That has boosted as rival bidders struggle in the race for electric star Balogun.

The Daily Mail and Sky Sports are reporting that Inter Milan are considering rivalling West Ham with a move for Folarin Balogun.
