A departure from Arsenal for Folarin Balogun looks highly likely this summer with the Gunners unable to fulfil a number of his wishes. The 21-year-old has enjoyed a scintillating loan spell at Reims where he has scored 20 goals from 36 Ligue 1 appearances which has in turn significantly risen his stock ahead of his imminent return to Emirates Stadium.
Talks regarding his future are scheduled for the summer but the outcome already appears highly likely. Understandably, Balogun wants first-team assurances and is not interested in another loan spell, but Mikel Arteta cannot guarantee consistent game time with Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah ahead of him in the pecking order.
Both AC Milan and Inter have held a long-term interest in the forward and with the summer window fast approaching, more clubs are beginning to enter the race. A major decision has already been made by Balogun this year which saw him switch his national allegiance to the USA from England after approval from FIFA.
