Arsenal goal machine 'leaning' toward decision as Gareth Southgate sent sharp response

Former USMNT forward Eric Wynalda has warned Gareth Southgate that he may regret not picking Folarin Balogun for the senior side as the on-loan Arsenal forward continues to be the centre of international allegiance speculation.

The 21-year-old was initially part of Lee Carsley's Under-21s Three Lions group for the most recent set of matches but pulled out with injury. It comes as he weighs up a potential switch to playing for the USA's national side instead.

Balogun, who has starred for Will Still's Stade de Reims side in Ligue 1 this season, scoring 17 times, was born in New York and is eligble to play for USMNT should he decide to. Despite playing almost solely for England at youth level he has been capped for USA Under-18s on two previous ocassions.
