The story so far

Folarin Balogun's transfer to Everton is in jeopardy after the striker failed a medical. The news comes just hours after Everton announced an agreement with Monaco for the transfer. The deal was reported to be worth up to $54M.

The failed medical is the latest twist in a transfer saga that has seen Balogun move from Arsenal to Monaco, and then to the United States to play for the USMNT. Balogun is described as a natural finisher, and his move to the Premier League was seen as a logical step in his career. The exact nature of the medical issue has not been disclosed.

The New York Times, Sky Sports, CBS Sports, and ESPN had all reported the transfer agreement earlier. The Royal Blue Mersey was first to report the failed medical. It is not yet clear whether the transfer will be revived or if Balogun will remain with Monaco.
