Tottenham have been linked with a summer move for Folarin Balogun, and that could be good news for Arsenal, even if the transfer means he would strengthen a key rival.Balogun was groomed at the Emirates before leaving Arsenal to move to AS Monaco in 2023 and has remained at the French club since then, but they are open to selling him this summer. Balogun has been one of the finest strikers in Europe since moving to France, and Monaco want to cash in on him while they can, as he does not seem keen to sign a new contract.Under Roberto de Zerbi, Tottenham have been big spenders, and the Lilywhites will now be keen to ensure that they have a new striker. This means they could meet Monaco’s asking price for Balogun.Tottenham target BalogunAccording to Football Insider, the American is currently one of Tottenham’s main transfer targets, and they are one of the clubs looking to sign him as he could leave Ligue 1.A move to Tottenham would see Balogun remain in top-level football while strengthening one of Arsenal’s key rivals. However, Arsenal could still benefit financially from the transfer because of the agreement they have in place following his departure from the Emirates.The possibility of Balogun moving to Tottenham therefore presents an interesting situation for Arsenal. While they would not want to see a former player strengthen a rival, the financial return could make the deal beneficial for the Gunners.Arsenal set for financial boostIf that happens, Arsenal hold a sell-on clause valued at at least 17%, which means they stand to make a significant fee when a sale is completed between Monaco and Tottenham or any of his many other suitors.Arsenal would therefore have a financial interest in Balogun’s next move. The larger the transfer fee Monaco receive, the greater the amount Arsenal could potentially collect through their sell-on clause.With Monaco open to selling and Tottenham reportedly interested, Balogun’s future could become an important storyline this summer. For Arsenal, his departure from France could bring a welcome financial benefit, even if his next destination is Tottenham and he becomes a player for one of their biggest rivals._____________________________________________________________________________________________ADMIN COMMENTSo here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans.
