Inter Milan are reportedly planning to make a bid for Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun.
Fabrizio Romano has reported on Twitter that Inter Milan are keen on signing Folarin Balogun from Arsenal in the summer transfer window.
The Italian journalist has claimed that Serie A club Inter Milan are prepared to approach Arsenal and try to convince them to sell striker Folarin Balogun.
Romano has said that Inter wanted to sign Gianluca Scamacca from West Ham United this summer.
However, the Italy international striker is moving to Atalanta now.
So, Inter are now trying to do a deal for Balogun.
Arsenal should ask for good money for Folarin Balogun from Inter Milan
In our opinion, Arsenal should ask for a good transfer fee from Inter Milan for Folarin Balogun.
We believe that the Gunners hold all the cards.
Inter are clearly desperate for a new striker.
And Balogun has a contract with Arsenal, who do not have to sell the USA international.
After all, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta could just keep the 22-year-old in his first-team squad this season.
The North London club should try to get as much money as they can from Inter for Balogun.
There is speculation that Arsenal are looking for as much as £45 million in transfer fees for the USA international striker.
It is hard to see any club pay that much money for a striker who has had just one good season in top-flight football.
While Arsenal might eventually have to lower their transfer demands for the striker, they should still make sure that they get enough.
Balogun made 34 starts and three substitute appearances in Ligue 1 during his loan spell at Reims last season.
The 22-year-old striker scored 21 goals and gave two assists in those matches.
Former Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey rates Balogun highly, and he told The Sun in June that the striker is “a very exciting player” and is “good enough for the Premier League”.
