Everton set to sign US striker Balogun from Monaco for £40m, according to reports

Everton are on the verge of signing US striker Folarin Balogun from Monaco for a hefty £40 million, according to recent reports. The deal could be finalized before the 2200 GMT deadline on Tuesday, bringing the 25-year-old back to the Premier League after a three-year stint at Monaco. Balogun left Arsenal for Monaco in a £35 million transfer three years ago.

The striker showcased his talents at the recent World Cup and also found himself at the center of controversy, receiving a red card against Bosnia and subsequently being banned for a crucial clash with Belgium, although the suspension was later overturned by a call from US President Donald Trump. Born in New York and nurtured through Arsenal's youth academy, Balogun has scored 31 goals in 91 appearances for Monaco, including a Champions League campaign.
