Mikel Arteta knows full well just how ambitious Folarin Balogun is.
So the Arsenal manager might not have been surprised to see Balogun post a pointed message on social media on Thursday after missing out on selection for England’s upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers.
Gareth Southgate named his 25-man squad for the matches against Ukraine and Italy on Thursday, with Brentford striker Ivan Toney the headline selection. Toney has made the cut to provide support for Harry Kane and Marcus Rashford in attack for the fixtures, which will take place on March 23 and 26.
