Inter Milan or Chelsea could have welcomed Folarin Balogun during the last summer transfer period. The American striker finally left Arsenal and took charge of AS Monaco. With some success so far (three goals in five Ligue 1 matches).
But did Balogun really want to sign for five years for the Rocher club? We can doubt it by reading the interview he gave to ESPN. “ I felt like my future was slipping away from me, like I had no control.”confided the 22-year-old player, 21 goals with Stade de Reims last season.

Folarin Balogun wanted to establish himself at Arsenal but Mikel Artea, the Gunners coach, did not consider him at the top of the list upon his return from loan from the Champagne club: “ He said he would try to involve me as best he could, but of course he also told me that people higher up would make decisions about me and see what would be best for me.. »
The leaders of the Premier League club have decided on a sale to Monaco which will bring them 30 million euros.
