Klutch Sports signed United States men's national team breakout star Folarin Balogun, the midfielder who scored three goals and added a controversial red card during the World Cup.
Balogun, who formerly played with Arsenal, has been rumored to be considering a move back to the Premier League following his headliner showing in the World Cup.
'Folarin Balogun is one of the most talented and influential players in global football today,' agency founder Rich Paul posted via social media. 'His relentless ambition and cultural impact represent the standard of excellence we hope to continue to bring to the sport. We are incredibly proud to welcome him to KLUTCH and excited about everything we can build together.'
The 25-year-old's brace against Paraguay and another goal against Bosnia and Herzegovina came before the red card violation that became a political flashpoint. FIFA eventually overturned the one-game suspension that comes with receiving a red card after intervention by President Donald Trump and some members of his cabinet.
Balogun ultimately was cleared to start in the round of 16 loss to Belgium in Seattle on July 6. The final score was 4-1.
Klutch was founded by LeBron James' business partner, Paul, in 2012 and represents a host of professional athletes, including Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, WNBA MVP A'ja Wilson and James.
