Gareth Southgate has broken the silence over the omission of Folarin Balogun for England's senior squad for the international break, revealing the latest on his future with the Three Lions.
The Arsenal loanee has had a stellar season in France with Stade de Reims under social media sensation Will Still, scoring 17 goals and outperforming Lionel Messi and Neymar in the charts too. At 21 Balogun wouldn't have been the only youngster included in England's squad but the forward is yet to get the nod in the senior side.
It comes at a time that his national allegiances remain up in the air. Balogun was born in New York and is eligible for a place in the USMNT set-up. He has also played once for their youth side despite spending most of his junior days in the England camps.
