The United States Soccer Federation have been urged to "throw the kitchen sink" to convince Folarin Balogun to play for the nation after his remarkable goalscoring season with Reims.
Balogun has scored 18 goals in 29 games for the French side since temporarily joining the club from Arsenal. Gabriel Jesus' £45million summer move from Manchester City meant the New York-born striker was deemed surplus for requirements by Mikel Arteta.
Not many would have predicted the 21-year-old to have the season he has, with only Kylian Mbappe and Jonathan David scoring more Ligue 1 goals than Hale Ender. His performances for the Red and Whites have produced a summer predicament for the Gunners at club-level, but also for the future of his international career.
