  "account": "Folarin Balogun's potential transfer to Everton faced a setback after the USMNT international striker failed his medical at Finch Farm, according to French journalist Fabrice Hawkins. Despite the agreement on a transfer fee between the two clubs, the deal might still fall through. The reason for the failed medical remains unclear, with possibilities including the player being unfit due to the World Cup exertions or underlying medical issues discovered by Everton's club doctors. Everton's situation may be complicated by the fact that their summer signing Christian Norgaard is not expected to return anytime soon and has regressed further. The club's cautious approach in light of these developments could lead to Folarin Balogun not joining the Blues.",
