View Tottenham summer 2026 transfer targets
Tottenham are considering a move for Folarin Balogun after the American striker emerged as one of the standout performers at the 2026 World Cup.
According to the Standard, Spurs are weighing up whether to make a bid for the former Arsenal forward, in a deal that would carry obvious extra intrigue given his previous connection with their north London rivals. Balogun’s profile has risen further this summer following his World Cup displays, and Tottenham are understood to view him as a player who could strengthen their attacking options ahead of the likes of Richarlison and Dominic Solanke.
The interest remains at the consideration stage, with Spurs yet to be known as having completed any agreement. However, the idea of pursuing Balogun is said to make sense for the club as they assess potential additions in the final weeks of the summer market.
Balogun’s Arsenal past would make any Tottenham approach particularly eye-catching. Moves between clubs with such a rivalry are always closely scrutinised, and a successful bid would instantly become one of the more discussed stories of the window. For Spurs, though, the focus would be on whether the striker can translate his international impact into consistent output at club level.
His performances at the World Cup have placed him firmly in the spotlight, and Tottenham’s reported interest reflects the way major tournaments can reshape transfer priorities. A strong showing on that stage often accelerates conversations around players who may already have been under observation.
For now, Spurs are considering their next step. If they decide to formalise their interest, Balogun could become a prominent name to watch as Tottenham look to sharpen their squad before the window closes.
It is understood that Monaco would be open to a sale for around £75 million.
