Liverpool handed Folarin Balogun transfer boost as Mikel Arteta plots Arsenal clear-out

Liverpool have been handed hope of signing Arsenal wonderkid Folarin Balogun, as Mikel Arteta has made a surprising decision over the forward’s future.

Liverpool could be in line for a surprise deal to sign Folarin Balogun from Arsenal for free.

The Gunners striker is highly rated, and Arsenal turned down two bids – one in the region of £8million – from Brentford last year, while Sheffield United also held an interest before signing Rian Brewster.

Balogun, who has been capped by England at youth level, will be out of contract at the end of the season.

He had reportedly been offered a new contract by the club, but had stalled and refused to sign due to a lack of guaranteed playing time.

Juventus targeting a move for youngster branded the new Aguero

Tuttosport via Calciomercato reports that the Bianconeri are targeting a move for Juan Macias of Chivas Guadalajara in Mexico.

The attacker has been so impressive that he has been labelled the “new Aguero” after the prolific Manchester City striker, claims the same report.

At 21, he is already one of the club’s main players and in the current campaign, he has scored 6 goals in 17 matches for them.

Because he would be a non-EU signing, he wouldn’t see space in the current Juventus team since they have already filled their non-European spots.
