Emile Smith Rowe has insisted that it's down to Folarin Balogun to decide where his international future lies - but he hopes that his Arsenal teammate will join him in the England Under-21 team for this summer's European Championships.
Balogun, 21, has been a regular in Lee Carsley's U21 side over the past 12 months but is also eligible to feature for the United States and Nigeria, and it is believed that the former are currently trying to persuade him to switch his international allegiance after he missed out on a spot in Gareth Southgate's senior squad for this month's Euro 2024 qualifiers.
USMNT interim coach Anthony Hudson revealed last week that he had recently held talks with Balogun, who withdrew from England's U21 fixtures this month due to an injury before jetting out to Orlando.
