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.
