Tottenham Reportedly Turn to Balogun as Osimhen Deal Grows Difficult

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly cooled their interest in Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen and begun discussions with AS Monaco over Nigerian-born United States forward Folarin Balogun. Osimhen had been linked with Spurs as the club rebuilds after finishing 17th in the Premier League. However, Galatasaray’s desire to keep him and the cost of a potential transfer are said to be major obstacles. The report also follows Osimhen’s pre-season clash with Villarreal defender Santiago Mourino, although there is no confirmation that the incident influenced Tottenham’s plans. Balogun, who scored 19 goals in 45 appearances for Monaco last season, is viewed as a potentially more affordable alternative.
