Fulham step up interest in Arsenal's Folarin Balogun, but the clubs are still £10m apart in their valuations of the striker with the Gunners holding out for £45m

Fulham are £10million short of agreeing a deal to sign Arsenal forward Folarin Balogun.

The Gunners are holding out for £45million for the USA international after he enjoyed a successful spell at Stade Reims last season.

Balogun notched 21 goals in 37 Ligue 1 appearances in the 2022-23 season, with only PSG's Kylian Mbappe, Lyon's Alexandre Lacazette and Lille's Jonathan David scoring more.

The 22-year-old made his debut for the US in June having switched international allegiance from England.

Balogun has been linked with moves to Monaco, Inter Milan and Tottenham throughout the summer but it appears Fulham are currently frontrunners for his signature.
