Folarin Balogun linked with Tottenham move via intermediaries, UK Sun reports

Monaco striker Folarin Balogun has been offered to Tottenham Hotspur through intermediaries, according to the UK Sun. The American-born Nigerian forward, who came through Arsenal’s academy and made a handful of Premier League appearances, remains uncertain about his future at the Ligue 1 club. Balogun was also at the centre of controversy during the 2026 World Cup after his red card was suspended, a detail the report mentions.

If the transfer materialises, return to North London would see him competing for a starting striker role alongside Dominic Solanke, who has established himself as Tottenham’s primary number-nine. The move would mark Balogun’s second stint in the Premier League after his brief Arsenal spell and could add depth to Tottenham’s attacking options.

No fee or personal terms have been disclosed, and Monaco have not confirmed receipt of the offer. The player’s camp has not commented on the speculation.

For Tottenham fans, the question is whether Balogun’s versatility and Premier League experience would solve the squad’s striker rotation issues or simply add another name to a crowded front line. Would his arrival push Solanke to the bench, encourage healthy competition, or leave the club still searching for a clear-cut number-one?
