The North London club are understood to be the first to make a formal approach for the forward, who has also been monitored by several sides across England and Spain, including Newcastle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Balogun is coming off the back of a prolific campaign for Monaco, where he netted 19 goals in 43 appearances across all competitions. The striker&#8217;s impressive output has seen his stock rise significantly, placing him firmly back on the radar of Europe&#8217;s elite clubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The marksman also played a starring role during the World Cup while representing the United States national team. Competing on home soil, Balogun proved to be one of the tournament&#8217;s standout performers, scoring three goals in three games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, Tottenham Hotspur are looking to make significant progress in talks with Monaco to secure the former Arsenal player&#8217;s signature. The 60 million euros valuation could prove the defining factor in the race for the forward, who remains one of the most coveted names on the market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US international emerges as key target for Spurs following prolific campaign in France.
