The Monaco midfielder says he has 'turned the page' on his failed £47m deadline-day transfer to Chelsea, which fell apart after Monaco pulled out at the last minute.
The Monaco midfielder admits his £47m deadline-day move to Chelsea nearly happened but says he has now turned the page and refocused on club football.
Monaco reversed a £47.1m agreement to sell Lamine Camara to Chelsea within an hour of deadline day closing, after the Balogun-Everton deal shifted course.
Balogun's move collapsed hours after the window shut, leaving David Moyes with 18 senior players and Thierno Barry as his only recognised forward.
Monaco says Balogun refused to sign after Everton's medical raised injury doubts, a collapse that also wrecked Chelsea's bid for Lamine Camara.
