Everton have reportedly submitted an offer for AS Monaco forward Folarin Balogun as they look to replace striker Beto, who is set to leave the club.

Beto is currently travelling to complete a £15.4 million transfer to Fiorentina after spending three seasons with the Toffees, during which he scored 25 goals in 113 appearances for the club.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Everton are now in talks with Monaco over a deal for former Arsenal player Balogun. The 25-year-old United States international drew major attention at the 2026 World Cup when his suspension was controversially rescinded after he had scored and was later sent off in the knockout match against Bosnia & Herzegovina.

Last season, Balogun featured 43 times for Monaco across all competitions, scoring 19 goals and providing four assists.
