Arsenal are in line for a boost if Aston Villa turn their interest in a \u00a343million-rated World Cup striker into a transfer this summer.<\/p>\n
The Gunners are yet to make a move in the summer window, but they\u2019re linked with some big names. Sandro Tonali, Morgan Rogers and Julian Alvarez are among those they\u2019re said to be interested in, while there\u2019s speculation over exits for players such as Ben White, Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus.<\/p>\n
While it could be a busy summer in either direction, Arsenal<\/a> could be given a boost for a transfer without raising a finger.<\/p>\n Indeed, they have a 17.5 per cent sell-on clause for former striker Folarin Balogun, and per Caught Offside<\/a>, the United States striker \u2013 who has two goals and an assist in the 2026 World Cup \u2013 wants to move back to England.<\/p>\n Monaco are believed to rate him at \u00a343million, and were they to get all of that for the New York-born attacker, Arsenal would scoop \u00a37.5million.<\/p>\n While it\u2019s said Monaco don\u2019t want to lose Balogun, after a 19-goal season, there are a number of clubs reported to be in for him.<\/p>\n Premier League rivals in Balogun hunt<\/p>\n A source is reported as saying: \u201cClubs across Europe have been tracking Balogun for some time, they\u2019ve known about him since his days at Arsenal.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is the summer he\u2019s expected to move. Monaco sources are playing this down, but he\u2019s keen to move to the Premier League and several clubs there have been informed that he\u2019s available for a package worth around \u00a343m.\u201d<\/p>\n Among the clubs looking at him are reportedly Aston Villa, Everton, Crystal Palace, Newcastle, Nottingham Forest and Sunderland.<\/p>\n That almost a third of the Premier League wants to sign Balogun means his dream of moving back to England could be realised this summer.<\/p>\n
