Arsenal have received multiple enquiries from teams interested in signing USA forward Folarin Balogun, namely from Chelsea, Inter Milan and Monaco.

Arsenal have received multiple enquiries from teams interested in signing USA forward Folarin Balogun.

The 22-year-old - who made his USMNT debut in June - scored 22 goals while on loan at French side Reims last season.

Despite that impressive campaign, Balogun finds himself behind Gabriel Jesus, Eddie Nketiah and Kai Havertz on Mikel Arteta's list of central striker options.

The Gunners are reportedly willing to sell Balogun and have set their asking price somewhere in the region of £50 million.

As reported by BBC Sport, Chelsea, Inter Milan and Monaco have all shown interest in Balogun this summer.

Chelsea have not yet made a firm offer, but Monaco have already had a bid rejected.

Inter have also been told to increase their valuation after initially suggesting a package worth around £25m plus a sell-on clause.

It is understood that Balogun will only agree to a move if he is convinced that he will play regularly.

Balogun has only made two Premier League appearances for Arsenal, both coming in the 2021/22 season.
