Tottenham begin discussions with Monaco for Folarin Balogun | OneFootball

According to a report from L’Équipe, Tottenham Hotspur have opened discussions with AS Monaco over a transfer for Folarin Balogun (25), with the French outlet writing that the striker is estimated to be worth around €60m. 

Balogun is coming off his third season in the Principality, having moved to the Ligue 1 side from Tottenham’s rivals Arsenal in 2023. The US international has been linked this summer with an exit. Spanish and English sides (including Newcastle United) have reportedly held an interest in a striker, who scored 19 times across 45 games last season. 

Balogun made headlines at the 2026 FIFA World Cup when his red card suspension was lifted in time for the Round of 16 exit to Belgium. The striker had been sent off in the Round of 32, but this was overturned following a call from US President Donald Trump, who made a call pleading Balogun’s case, albeit FIFA denies that this had any sway on the final decision.
