Ed002 are we interested in balogun.

{Ed002's Note - Folarin Balogun (S) Arsenal will likely let him leave if a good enough offer arrives. He attracted a great deal of interest from scouts last season with Monaco, Napoli, Marseille, Inter, RBL, MIlan and Villareal scouting him - may be a mistake by Arsenal. Villareal will propose a loan to buy option which will not suit Arsenal. Monaco offer the player a tax benefit and have already had at least one offer turned down. Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah will be ahead of him in the pecking order so it might be a good time to move on. Riems cannot afford him. There will also be interest from Premier League clubs, including West Ham, Brighton, Crystal Palace and Fulham. Agents have approached and spoken with Chelsea and Newcastle, and perhaps others.}

I've not seen much of him. Does anyone have a good player comparison?

He seemed to have a good season on loan in france last year, but I can’t say I saw much if any of him Nath.

A lot of his goals in France were penalties.

It would be foolish to hand a direct competitor £40-50m for their third - or even fourth - choice as a striker.

Balogun just turned 22. That's only two years younger than Pulisic. Despite that, he's only played for Middlesbrough for a half season and Reims for a full.
- That's 18 months of genuine first team football at the age of 22. Other than that, all he's ever played is U23.

The only other clubs in the running for him are Monaco and Fulham.

Reminds me of like Tyler Adams. We were in for him - but luckily pulled out. Now he's at Bournemouth. Why wasn't Liverpool or other top tier clubs after him?

This one is a hard pass for me.
