OM in the race for a striker at 58 ME ‍!

OM need at least one top striker and intend to pull out all the stops to achieve their goals. The prospect of bringing in Folarin Balogun from Arsenal is being considered, although the competition is huge.

Pablo Longoria has already demonstrated it in the past, all avenues are good to study on the transfer market. The president of OM has already achieved some feats by finding unexpected agreements with clubs or players in order to strengthen his workforce. To replace Alexis Sanchez, who was already a good move in the transfer window, the Spanish leader intends to try his luck to afford a serial Ligue 1 scorer from last season. This is Folarin Balogun, who returned to Arsenal this summer after a devastating loan from Reims, where he competed for a long time with Kylian Mbappé for the title of top scorer of the season. Having since become an American international, the leading striker knows that it will be very difficult for him to win at Arsenal, where Mikel Arteta trusts Gabriel Jesus to lead the attack, not to mention the recruitment of Kai Havertz.

Longoria ready for a madness for Balogun

Result, a departure is envisaged, which will allow the Gunners to make a good return of money for a player who has hardly ever worn the jersey of the London club. According to the Daily Mail, several clubs have now contacted Arsenal to offer the services of the New York native. These are AC Milan and Inter Milan, RB Leipzig, Monaco but also Olympique de Marseille. Very good candidates even if for the moment, one club is more pressing than the others, it is Chelsea who have already contacted Arsenal to try to finalize the deal. Very tough competition therefore for OM, who are desperately trying to bring in at least one central striker, but risk suffering fairly enormous competition in the Folarin Balogun case. Nevertheless, Pablo Longoria has already proven with Vitinha that he is capable of making big investments if he is convinced by his idea.
