Your Arsenal transfer round-up on Saturday, August 26.
Balogun exit near
Folarin Balogun will close in on his permanent move to AS Monaco over the weekend, ending his time at Arsenal. According to a number of reports, the striker will join the club for around €45million (£38m) - signing a five-year contract.
It's said that the USMNT star will undergo his medical tests over the weekend before completing his move to France. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has claimed that the Gunners have inserted a 'significant' sell-on clause for Balogun.
The move will see Balogun return to France after his breakthrough campaign last term. He scored 21 Ligue 1 goals for Stade Reims last season, outscoring the likes of Lionel Messi and Neymar.
Tierney loan confirmed
Kieran Tierney is set to follow Balogun out the door at London Colney with a loan move to Real Sociedad. The left-back will spend the 2023/24 season in Spain after losing his place to Oleksandr Zincenko.
The La Liga outfit will cover 100% of Tierney's wages as the Scottish defender now prepares to undergo a medical after accepting the move.
