UPDATE: Balogun accepts deal with Chelsea but Arsenal insists on no discount

Reporter Ben Jacobs updated the possibility of Chelsea signing striker Folarin Balogun from Arsenal.

Many reputable sources confirm, the Gunners are likely to sell Balogun this summer despite his excellent form while on loan at Reims. The reason is that Mikel Arteta is planning to raise money for a transfer after this season.

The 21-year-old is experiencing an excellent campaign in Ligue 1. He scored his 21st goal of the season for Reims.

Notably, Balogun does not want to return to Arsenal when the official position is not guaranteed. On the contrary, the Gunners are ready to listen to offers for this player.

Arsenal believe this summer is the best time to make some big money from Balogun. Notably, British media confirmed that Chelsea are planning to recruit this striker.

However, the Emirates Stadium team is preventing Balogun from leaving. The reason is that Arsenal asked for a price of up to £ 50 million for the deal.

The latest, journalist Ben Jacobs said: “Arsenal’s Balogun is a name that has been talked about, but AS Monaco is now making better strides.

“However, Balogun is open to a move to Chelsea. Inter also want Balogun, but Arsenal need to reduce their asking price of £45-50m to around £10m.

“There’s no reason for Arsenal to do that, though.”
