Transfer: Arsenal striker set to dump Arteta’s side for EPL rivals

West London side, Fulham, have identified Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun as a replacement for their Saudi Arabia-bound Aleksandar Mitrovic.

The 22-year-old striker, who spent the whole last on loan at French club Reims, has been a subject of summer-long of transfer speculation.

Balogun, a USA international, scored 22 goals, and is expected to leave Arsenal permanently this summer.

Daily Mail reports that Fulham are keen on signing the striker, who is rated at around £50million by the Gunners.

Fulham have also made an enquiry for Manchester United centre-back Eric Bailly.

They also want to sign Benfica defender Morato before the end of the window.
