Inter set to intensify contacts for Arsenal’s Folarin Balogun

Inter are expected to intensify contacts with Premier League giants Arsenal for Folarin Balogun.

According to a report by Andrea Ramazzotti of La Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter will accelerate proceedings for securing the services of Folarin Balogun next week.

The Nerazzurri are waiting for the deal of Yann Sommer to be signed entirely and as soon as it is done, the operation for landing the 22-year-old striker will be initiated. 

The club is working on the sale of Joaquin Correa as his departure will facilitate the arrival of Balogun. Inter expect an offer from Saudi Arabia to come for the Argentine forward in the coming days as the sale proceedings will help them secure a centre-forward in addition to the American striker. 

Folarin Balogun played as a loanee for Ligue 1 side Stade de Reims last season, scoring 22 times and registering 3 assists in 39 matches across all competitions.
