The Story in 60 Seconds

Monaco striker Folarin Balogun admitted a future move to the Premier League remains an option after his deadline-day transfer to Everton collapsed. Everton had agreed to a permanent £40 million deal with Monaco, but the move fell through when Balogun decided against the switch late on deadline day following renegotiated terms triggered by medical issues.
