Everton FC have reportedly reached an agreement to sign highly-rated striker Folarin Balogun from AS Monaco in what could become one of the club’s biggest attacking moves.
The England-born American international has attracted significant attention because of his pace, movement and ability to find the back of the net. Everton are believed to have identified the striker as a major target as they look to strengthen their attacking options.
The proposed deal would represent a major statement of ambition from Everton, with the club hoping Balogun can provide more goals and competition in the final third.
Supporters are already excited by the possibility of seeing the 25-year-old striker wearing the famous Everton shirt. His arrival could give the team another dangerous option in attack and potentially play an important role in their plans for the season.
However, while reports of an agreement have generated excitement among fans, the transfer should not be considered officially completed until Everton and Monaco confirm the deal and the necessary formalities are completed.
