How much!? Folarin Balogun unhappy with Arsenal asking price as West Ham join transfer race for USMNT striker

<p>The 22-year-old striker was expected to be on the move before the 2023-24 campaign got underway, with the United States international eager to find regular game time in new surroundings. He is, however, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/transfer-incoming-usmnt-folarin-balogun-trains-separately-arsenal-squad-us-tour/blt693a3de2b204b049" target="_blank">still on the books at Emirates Stadium</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Balogun <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/ready-for-premier-league-arsenal-warned-against-folarin-balogun-transfer-usmnt-star-sold/bltd9e4439328de502a" target="_blank">hit 21 goals while on loan at Ligue 1 side Reims</a> last season – bringing him to the attention of clubs across Europe. Several sides are said to have expressed interest, but <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/why-are-arsenal-selling-folarin-balogun-how-much-usmnt-star-worth-will-gunners-regret-transfer-ray-parlour/blt76fc058e0584760e" target="_blank">Arsenal are demanding up to £50 million ($64m)</a> for the highly-rated frontman. That figure has risen by £10m ($13m), with <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/folarin-balogun-arsenal-transfer-frustration-30621458 " target="_blank"><em>The Mirror</em></a> claiming that the talented forward is frustrated at <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/too-expensive-arsenal-price-usmnt-star-folarin-balogun-out-inter-transfer/blt3e82f1d8be6e0d0c" target="_blank">being priced out of a switch</a>.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>It remains to be seen whether Balogun will get his move – especially as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/arsenal-change-folarin-balogun-sale-stance-gabriel-jesus-injury-mikel-arteta-update-usmnt-striker/blta56562d7193fd1e7" target="_blank">Gabriel Jesus is now nursing an injury</a> at Arsenal – but potential suitors continue to emerge. According to <a href="https://talksport.com/football/1520639/" target="_blank"><em>talkSPORT</em></a>, West Ham are the latest side to mull over an approach for the American – with Gianluca Scamacca wanted by Inter and doubts cast over the future of Michail Antonio.</p>

AND WHAT'S MORE

<p>Balogun is tied to a contract at Arsenal through to 2025, meaning that they are under no pressure to sell, but he has made it clear that he <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/loan-again-folarin-balogun-strong-arsenal-transfer-message-first-goal-usmnt/bltfb83835ecd811f66" target="_blank">does not want another loan</a> and would prefer to take on a completely new challenge for 2023.</p>
