Monaco striker Folarin Balogun is ready to join Tottenham. According to TEAMtalk, the American has given his consent for a possible transfer and is eager to return to the Premier League.
The Spurs are considered favourites to secure the 25-year-old forward, who is also being tracked by Newcastle, Galatasaray, and clubs from Saudi Arabia. Monaco is looking to receive between €50-60 million (£43-51 million) for Balogun.
However, John Wenham, who is close to Tottenham, is sceptical about the former Arsenal forward:
Balogun doesn't really convince me. His stats in Ligue 1 aren't impressive. Yes, he has scored in the Champions League, but such a transfer would feel somewhat disappointing.
To me, it would indicate that we've missed out on players who were of top-tier and second-tier quality. Honestly, I'm not even sure I rate Balogun above Richarlison.
Tottenham is also continuing negotiations for Cody Gakpo and Savinho, as strengthening their attacking options remains a priority ahead of the transfer window closing.
