Monaco’s initial offer, however, fell short of the gunner’s £50m valuation of American striker Balogun, who contributed to Reims’ league goals during his loan stint in France.
Inter Milan, who are still looking for a striker after failing to land Gianluca Scamacca from West Ham, are also interested in signing him.
