Arsenal now value in-demand striker Folarin Balogun at a cool £50million ahead of what could be the most lucrative sale of their busy summer transfer window.
Balogun, previously said to be valued at £35m, enjoyed a star-making loan spell with French side Stade Reims last season, scoring a superb 22 goals in 39 games. But the United States international is on the chopping block at the Emirates, as Arsenal look to bring in funds following big-money moves for Kai Havertz, Declan Rice and Jurrien Timber - the latter two of which are yet to be announced.
The same goes for four of Balogun's team-mates at club level, as Sky Sports report that the Gunners are exploring potential exit routes for him, winger Nicolas Pepe, midfielder Albert Sambi-Lokonga, full-back Cedric Soares and defender Nuno Tavares. The quintet spent last season out on loan and had mixed campaigns away from North London.
