AS Monaco of France’s Nigerian-born striker, Folarin Balogun, could be on his way back to London, England, later this month, with the possibility of linking forces with another attacker of the same descent, Dominic Solanke, at Tottenham Hotspur.
Sports247 gathered that Monaco are eager to cash in on the 25-year-old star’s spotlight outing with Team USA at the recent FIFA World Cup, where a bolt of controversy trailed him after his red card against Bosnia was suspended by FIFA’s egg heads.

Balogun found himself in a storm after he was expelled in the USMNT’s 2-0 win over Bosnia-Herzegovina, only to have it ‘suspended’ by FIFA after US president Donald Trump interfered with a phone call to the world football governing body’s boss, Gianni Infantino.
However, aside from the controversy that painted him and FIFA in a bad light, the former Arsenal youth team player ended up as USA’s top scorer with three goals before their eventual elimination by Belgium, and Monaco are now thinking about making a huge sale with the hitman’s exit.
UK’s Sun Sports disclosed, “Balogun looks likely to leave Monaco this summer. It’s understood that Roberto De Zerbi is looking to add more depth up top to challenge Dominic Solanke, and should the price be right for the former Arsenal youngster, a deal could be on the table.”
