It’s no secret that AS Monaco are keen on Arsenal’s Folarin Balogun, having already seen two bids rejected by the Gunners for the forward.

The first of €30m was instantaneously sent back by Edu Gaspar, while a second of €40m certainly made them think a bit more, but was still not deemed enough.

However, that hasn’t put off the principality side, who really seem to want the Arsenal striker, as TuttoMercatoWeb bring the latest on the situation.

The website claim that Monaco are ‘pressing’ to sign the Gunners forward, who impressed greatly last season while on loan at Stade de Reims, with many believing he might be given a chance in London.

Mikel Arteta decided against that, however, and there is hope for a sale at a high price after Arsenal spent a lot of money on the likes of Declan Rice, Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber this summer.

That’s why they want €50m for Balogun, and TuttoMercatoWeb claim Monaco are ‘evaluating the possibility of relaunching’ an assault to gift him to Adi Hütter.

This suggests they will try and get closer to Arsenal’s asking price, and his arrival could then help Salernitana in their efforts to sign Myron Boadu from the Ligue 1 club.
