Reports: U.S. striker Folarin Balogun is headed on transfer to Premier League club Everton

British media outlets have reported that United States striker Folarin Balogun is set to join Premier League club Everton, according to an AP news release. The transfer fee is estimated to be between £40 million ($54 million) over a four-year deal, though personal terms have not been finalized. The 25-year-old Balogun, who has two years left on his contract with Monaco, was the top scorer for the U.S. national team during the World Cup, netting three goals and drawing a red card that was later deferred by President Donald Trump.

Born in New York but raised in Britain, Balogun began his career at Arsenal's academy before moving to Middlesbrough and then Reims in France, eventually joining Monaco. He scored 13 goals in 30 Ligue 1 appearances last season.
