Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun is reportedly interested in joining Chelsea before the transfer window closes.

The 22-year-old has been left out of Arsenal's squad for their first two league games this season, and could leave the club in the coming days.

Fulham have been ramping up their efforts to sign Balogun after their talisman Aleksandar Mitrovic joined Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal, but they are not the only Premier League club keeping tabs on the American international.

Chelsea have also registered an interest in signing Balogun, and he is open to moving to Stamford Bridge, according to the Evening Standard.
