Folarin Balogun
24-Year-Old
Monaco
Ligue 1
Fit to play despite early exits
Balogun has been managing physical issues and has frequently exited matches early in the second half, but he is not dealing with any injury concerns and has been training in full, according to Vivien Seiller from Nice Matin.
ANALYSIS
Balogun was forced off in the 56th minute of Saturday's win against Rennes due to ongoing fitness issues he has been managing for several weeks, largely tied to his increased workload. The American has since returned to full training at La Turbie, is not dealing with any injury concerns, and is expected to retain his starting role in the frontline moving forward for the Diagonale.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Arsenal set price tag
Arsenal will ask Chelsea for £50 million if they want to sign Balogun, according to The London Evening Standard.
ANALYSIS
Arsenal will probably ask other teams for a smaller transfer fee, but they don't want to sell their striker to a rival. However, given what the club has spent over the last 12 months, it wouldn't be shocking if they end up paying what Arsenal are asking. Balogun had an impressive season with Reims in 2022-23 and bagged 21 goals in league play for the Ligue 1 club.
