Keller: Balogun Will Make A Return To Premier League

Former Tottenham goalkeeper Kasey Keller has tipped USMNT star Folarin Balogun to make a return to the Premier League after his impressive performance at the FIFA World Cup 2026.

Balogun has been heavily linked with a move away from AS Monaco, and the developments have drawn significant interest from clubs in Europe.

Chelsea has shown strong interest and reportedly reached a verbal agreement with the striker, while Tottenham, Crystal Palace, and Ipswich Town are also circling.

However, in a chat with Ozoon, Keller stated that returning to the Premier League will be ideal for Balogun.

“Would a move to Chelsea or Tottenham be good for Folarin Balogun? Look the Premier League right now can pay you more than anywhere else. You have a very limited time in your career.

“Let’s be honest, Balogun is an Arsenal guy. He is a London kid. So an opportunity to move back to the capital, if that is right for him, it’s right for him.

“But you have to prove yourself, in those clubs you have to still get the job done or they’ll find someone else. I enjoyed the challenge of going to a new club, and winning over team-mates and fans, and being the first American to play in the top flight in Spain and captaining a side in Bundesliga.

“But I wouldn’t say anything different if he said, I was at Arsenal, but I’m at a new club now where I’m scoring goals, in a beautiful part of the world, I’m appreciated, I’m wanted. A little extra money, is that more important than being in a good situation in my career?”
