Folarin Balogun’s move to Everton collapses
Reports said the US striker had undergone a medical in England before deciding against making the switch.
US striker Folarin Balogun's £40 million move to Everton from Monaco fell through hours before the transfer deadline expired on Monday. Reports claim that Balogun, who was involved in controversy at the World Cup following US President Donald Trump's successful intervention to suspend his red card, decided against the transfer after Everton attempted to negotiate a lower fee due to undisclosed medical issues.
Now, the Toffees are short on forwards for the upcoming season, though they have secured the return of Jack Grealish on a season-long loan from Manchester City for the second year in a row. Everton also signed English defender Ainsley Maitland-Niles from Lyon.
