Arsenal's on-loan goal machine Folarin Balogun hits out after England squad snub

Folarin Balogun has reacted to being left out of the first England squad of 2023 - hinting that he could switch international allegiances.

The on-loan Arsenal striker has been in sensational form for French side Reims, scoring 16 goals in 26 Ligue 1 appearances so far this season. Balogun has scored more league goals than both Lionel Messi and Neymar this campaign, and is only three behind joint-leaders Jonathan David and Kylian Mbappe (19).

Balogun was born in the United States, and has represented both England and the USMNT at youth level throughout his career. The 21-year-old is also eligible to play for Nigeria, and his reaction to being left out of the England squad suggests that he may be finished with the Three Lions.
