Folarin Balogun Set to Join Everton From Monaco

The move would raise his U.S. visibility by placing the World Cup scorer in the Premier League.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets reported Tuesday that Balogun is set to move from AS Monaco to Everton for the 2026-27 season, though club confirmations were not included in the coverage.
  • Reports say the deal could be worth up to $54 million, a figure described as reported rather than finalized in the articles.
  • Everton sees a tactical fit under manager David Moyes because Balogun blends winger creativity with striker finishing and can play the runs and cutbacks Moyes used last season.
  • Journalists note the move would boost Balogun’s U.S. profile since Premier League games reach a much larger American audience than Ligue 1 coverage.
  • The transfer follows strong form for Balogun at the 2026 World Cup and in 2025-26 for Monaco, who had drawn interest from clubs including Tottenham, Juventus, and PSG during the summer.
