Everton had agreed a £40 million deal with Monaco for the 25-year-old on Monday. However, the move looked to be off earlier due to medical concerns. But the club and Monaco have since held talks to renegotiate the terms of the deal. According to ESPN, Everton have submitted a deal sheet to the Premier League to seek a two-hour extension to the transfer deadline, allowing them to complete the move for Balogun. The Premier League rules allow clubs an additional two hours to complete deals if they are already underway. Balogun scored 24 goals across 74 appearances since joining Monaco in 2023, including a stellar campaign in last year's Champions League.
