Everton expected to look elsewhere as Folarin Balogun rated ‘highly unlikely’

Everton are considered highly unlikely to revive their interest in Monaco striker Folarin Balogun during the January transfer window, according to BBC Radio Merseyside reporter Giulia Bould. The club is instead expected to evaluate other attacking options to bolster their forward line.

A proposed £40 million permanent transfer collapsed on summer deadline day after medical concerns prompted renegotiations, leading Balogun to walk away from the move. Manager David Moyes currently has Thierno Barry as his only recognized senior striker.
