Arsenal’s forward, Folarin Balogun, successfully finalized a £38 million transfer to Monaco.
The American talent underwent thorough medical evaluations in Monaco on Tuesday, marking his return to the league where he showcased his abilities the previous year.
Balogun has been conspicuously absent from Arsenal’s Premier League squads this season.
A product of Arsenal’s academy, Balogun demonstrated remarkable prowess at the junior levels for both his club and his nation, before making the decision to represent the USA in senior football.
Notably, he garnered attention from local rivals Chelsea, while Inter Milan also expressed interest during this summer transfer window.
During the past year, the 22-year-old enjoyed a fruitful loan spell at Reims, netting an impressive 21 goals and securing a commendable fifth position in the race for the Golden Boot.
