Everton are on the verge of signing Monaco striker Folarin Balogun for a fee of £40 million ($54 million), according to reports as of Monday. The 25-year-old American has agreed to join the Premier League club if the transfer is finalized before Tuesday's 2200 GMT deadline. Balogun, who left Arsenal for Monaco three years ago for £35 million, is expected to return to the top flight after impressing during the recent World Cup.
Despite a few controversies, including a ban for a last-16 clash with Belgium and a red card against Bosnia, the suspension was lifted at the last minute due to an intervention by US President Donald Trump. Balogun, who was born in New York and played for Arsenal's youth team, has scored 31 goals in 91 appearances for Monaco, including a Champions League campaign.
