Balogun has inked a five-year deal with the Ligue 1 side.

According to a statement released on Arsenal.com, “Folarin Balogun has completed a permanent transfer to Ligue 1’s AS Monaco. The 22-year-old forward, who initially joined our ranks at the age of ten, progressed through our Academy system, achieving success across various youth divisions. He signed his inaugural professional contract with us in February 2019.”
