It's an exciting time if you are Arsenal loanee Folarin Balogun, who is enjoying a strong season in France with Stade Reims. The 21-year-old is the joint Ligue 1 top scorer alongside Kylian Mbappe and Jonathan David with 15 goals, which has seen him attract plenty of interest ahead of the summer transfer window.
A host of clubs including AC Milan, Marseille and Villarreal are reportedly monitoring Balogun, casting some doubt over his Arsenal future. The Hale End graduate's return to north London has certainly become an intriguing prospect as a result of his impressive form, but it remains to be seen whether or not he would be willing to compete against Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah for a starting spot under Mikel Arteta.
Nevertheless, it's set to be a busy few months for Balogun as considers his options at both club and international level. The New York City-born striker is currently representing England at Under-21 level but is yet to receive a call up to the Three Lions' senior team, meaning the U.S. Soccer Federation still has a chance to recruit him. Balogun has previously played for the U.S. Under-18s and is also eligible for Nigeria through family roots.
