Sunderland hold talks with AS Monaco to sign Tottenham target Folarin Balogun

Sunderland have held talks with AS Monaco representatives regarding a potential transfer for striker Folarin Balogun, a product of Arsenal's academy and a reported target for Tottenham Hotspur. The 25-year-old USA international scored 19 goals for Monaco in the 2025-26 season and impressed at the World Cup. Monaco values Balogun at around £40 million. Tottenham, under manager Roberto De Zerbi, are also interested in bolstering their attack after narrowly avoiding relegation last season. Other clubs including Everton, Leeds United, Newcastle United, Nottingham Forest, Fulham, Borussia Dortmund, Juventus, and Atletico Madrid have also shown interest. The article suggests Tottenham should move quickly to meet Monaco's asking price.
