BREAKING: #Arsenal Striker, Folarin Balogun Medical Test Date At AS Monaco Revealed—The Genius Media Nigeria reports that Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun is expected to undergo his Monaco medical on Tuesday ahead of his permanent transfer to the Ligue 1 club, Monaco.

This was made known by the Football transfer expert, fabrizio.

The 22-year-old had a brilliant loan spell with Reims in the French top-flight last season. He registered 22 goals and three assists from 39 appearances across all competitions.

He wrote:

Folarin Balogun, set to travel to Monaco on Tuesday in order to undergo medical tests and complete his permanent move to AS Monaco #ASMonaco

€40m package deal plus sell on clause for Arsenal in the future — agreed last Saturday, set to be sealed.

Here we go, confirmed.

The USA international is now on the verge of returning to Ligue 1. As per Hawkins, he will have a series of medical tests with Monaco on Tuesday before signing a five-year deal.

The Gunners will receive a fee of €45m including bonuses for his services.

Balogun was hugely impressive for Reims last term, but that did not change the stance of manager Mikel Arteta. Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah remain the main strikers for him.

Hence, the decision to sell Balogun is the right one. The club’s hierarchy have sanctioned his sale to Monaco, and they could benefit in future due to a significant sell-on clause.
