Arsenal wantaway star Folarin Balogun eyed by Fulham as replacement for Aleksandar Mitrovic
Fulham could reportedly switch their attention to Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun if Aleksandar Mitrovic leaves the club this summer.
Despite an impressive first season back in the Premier League, Marco Silva's side may need to dip into the market for a new striker.
Mitrovic was offered a contract worth £21.3mllion-per-year by Al Hilal earlier in the window but Fulham reject two offers from them.
However, the Saudi Pro League side have reignited their interest in the Serbian and have offered almost £47million for his services.
The striker himself is keen on the move to the Gulf state having joined Fulham from Newcastle in 2018.
He has scored 111 goals for the west London side and 28 of those have come in the Premier League, but he could be set for a departure.
Should this happen, the Evening Standard report that Arsenal forward Balogun is on their list of targets.
The 22-year-old is keen to leave the Gunners this summer following a highly impressive loan spell at Reims last season.
Balogun scored 22 goals for the French side, with Arsenal already rejecting a formal bid for him from Monaco.
A move to Craven Cottage could see him compete alongside summer signing Raul Jimenez for a starting spot up front.
talkSPORT reported earlier in August that West Ham may also eye a potential move for the USA international.
Balogun was not named in Arsenal's squad for their Community Shield win over Manchester City.
He was also omitted from the side that beat Nottingham Forest last weekend, with his future likely to be away from the Gunners.
