Everton table offer to sign Monaco striker Folarin Balogun

Everton have officially presented a transfer offer for AS Monaco’s forward Folarin Balogun, according to a report. Balogun, 25, missed the current Ligue 1 campaign after picking up a small injury while playing through the FIFA World Cup, a fact explained by Monaco coach Filipe Luís. The former Arsenal player was seen in the stands at the Stade Louis II on Sunday as Monaco defeated Olympique de Marseille 2-0, a match highlighted by Paris Brunner’s two goals.

Monaco have signaled openness to a sale this season, and Balogun himself is said to be keen on moving on. While clubs from across Europe have shown interest, no agreement has been reached yet, and Everton are now pushing to finalize the deal before the deadline.
