Folarin Balogun has given the green light to join Tottenham Hotspur this summer, according to French journalist Santi Aouna.
Tottenham want to sign the AS Monaco striker and he is open to joining them. Talks are ongoing between the club and the player’s representatives.
The 25-year-old American did not have an opportunity to prove himself in the Premier League while with Arsenal.
He spent time on loan in the Championship with Middlesbrough and in Ligue 1 with Reims.
Balogun joined join Monaco in 2023 but is now relishing a chance to return to England and prove himself.
He ended last term with 19 goals in 43 games and would add further depth to Tottenham’s attacking options.
Dominic Solanke is struggling with fitness issues and Tottenham need to sign another striker this summer.
Balogun fits the bill and his willingness to join the Lilywhites speaks volumes.
He has a point to prove in the Premier League after Mikel Arteta opted against giving him a chance at Arsenal.
Spurs manager Roberto De Zerbi knows Balogun from his time in France, and he is willing to bring him back to England.
Newcastle United are also keeping tabs on the Monaco star, but Tottenham are currently ahead of them and other suitors in the race.
