The Gunners are said to be demanding a whopping £50 million for the 21-year-old striker. However, it has also been suggested that he could be picked up for just £35 million.
If Hammers boss David Moyes can sign Balogun for somewhere around the lower fee being reported in the summer transfer window, I think we could be onto a winner.
The United States international could be the ideal summer signing for West Ham…
After Folarin Balogun claim is made West Ham can’t hesitate to sign the Arsenal striker
Reims boss Will Still recently raved about Balogun during the striker’s loan spell with the Ligue 1 outfit, labelling him as ‘unbelievable’ (Daily Mail).
The 21-year-old is an elite forward in the making and has absolutely everything that West Ham lack through the middle.
The Hammers desperately lacked any kind of pace and power up front last season. Michail Antonio is now 33 and he seems to have lost the attributes that made his so hard to defend against.
For around £35 million, Folarin Balogun would be the perfect solution to our problems in attack.
Balogun bagged 21 goals in 37 Ligue 1 games so far (Transfermarkt). That put him behind only Kylian Mbappe, Jonathan David and Alexandre Lacazette in the goalscoring charts.
The United States international is absolutely electric, possesses fantastic movement and has has pace and power un abundance.
If he does leave Arsenal this summer, West Ham absolutely have to ensure that he remains in London.
Balogun would be an absolute star at the London Stadium, I’m certain of it.
