Mercato: the very good deal for Monaco

Among the offensive revelations in Ligue 1 last season, Folarin Balogun signed a five-year contract with AS Monaco. Definitely a good pick for the Rocher club.

Leader of Ligue 1 after three days, AS Monaco can also be satisfied with the official rookie on Wednesday, Folarin Balogun, from Arsenal.

The 22-year-old American striker, he celebrated them on July 3, signed up for five years for an estimated amount of 30 million euros.

The ASM achieves a nice coup, on paper, by securing the services of one of the offensive revelations of Ligue 1 last season.

Loaned to Stade de Reims by the Gunners, Folarin Balogun had scored 21 goals in 37 Championship matches.

Balogun will notably fill in some gaps in the Monegasque offensive sector: the departure of Kevin Volland to Union Berlin and the serious knee injury suffered by Breel Embolo.
