Everton lineup projection with Folarin Balogun: How USMNT star could fit with Premier League transfer
In one of the more high-profile Deadline Day deals of the Premier League's 2026 summer transfer window, Everton have swooped for AS Monaco and USMNT striker Folarin Balogun for a significant, near-club-record fee.
Everton has made a significant transfer move for AS Monaco and USMNT striker Folarin Balogun for a near-club-record fee. The 25-year-old Balogun has been one of Ligue 1's top goal scorers over the past three years, scoring 45 goals in Ligue 1 play alone. The move will see Balogun return to the Premier League, where he began his career as an Arsenal youth product before moving to France.
Under David Moyes, it is likely that Balogun will be the starting striker, supported by Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall on the left wing and Brennan Johnson on the right. Balogun's ability to make vertical runs and strike between the channels has made him a focal point for the USMNT under Mauricio Pochettino. With the right support and system, Balogun could potentially score 15 goals in the Premier League this season.
