Chelsea ready to spend 50 million euros on USMNT star Balogun

Chelsea have started talks for Arsenal forward Folarin Balogun. It seems like the Blues will continue with the summer signings and have had a look at the 22-year-old American, who has to fill the hole left by Christopher Nkunku, who will be out for several months with knee injury.

Chelsea are not the only club interested in Balogun. He is also wanted by AC Milan, Inter, Monaco and Fulham, but the high price of 50 million euros set by Arsenal has so far turned away suitors for his signature.

At Stamford Bridge, however, they seem to have no problem continuing with serious spending and will not hesitate to pay the amount requested by the Gunners, regardless of the fact that they have already splashed out over 350 million euros on new players.
