Folarin Balogun’s transfer to Everton collapsed at the very last moment during the very last hours of the transfer window. Asked about this failure, Toffees coach David Moyes was keen to put an end to any speculation by specifying that the operation had simply failed following a problem detected during the player’s medical examination.
“It wasn’t anyone’s fault. This happens very often in football. The player had a problem during his medical examination, it’s as simple as that. There’s no other story behind this“, declared the Scottish technician to definitively close the case. Pending possibly another bounce on Balogun’s future, the American striker was not selected in Filipe Luis’ list to participate in the Conference League this season.
