CHELSEA have agreed terms with Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun ahead of a late summer switch across London from north to west.
The USA striker, 22, has been linked with Inter Milan and Prem clubs following his sensational loan season with Reims in which he netted an impressive 21-goals for the French side in the League.
He has already come out and admitted that he needs to play in the coming seasons – and Mikel Arteta has been unable to give him the assurances that he needs to 100 per cent make the decision to stay put.
WHAT IS THE LATEST –
According to outlet Football Transfers, the club have agreed terms with Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun ahead of a late summer switch.
The American international is keen to join us and compete with Nicolas Jackson, But Arsenal are looking for close to £50m for the striker despite the fact he is surplus to requirements at the Emirates.
WOULD BALOGUN BE A GOOD CHELSEA SIGNING?
Balogun fits the criteria that the board are looking to sign, he is young, hungry and talented, something that will mean a big contract if he moves to Stamford Bridge.
He would most certainly be interested in a move to Stamford Bridge as he knows that the club do not have a permanent number one striker right now.
However – it is another big risk to sign a lad that even Arsenal dont want after working with him all summer – that kind of says it all doesnt it? If Arteta doesnt want him in the side – is he really good enough for us?
