England plan Folarin Balogun meeting as Arsenal star set to hold talks amid USMNT interest

Arsenal star Folarin Balogun, who is currently on loan at Stade de Reims, is set to hold a meeting with England Under-21 coach Lee Carsley to decide his international future. The Three Lions and the United States, the country of Balogun's birth, are both pushing to convince him to declare in their favour.

The 21-year-old striker has scored 18 goals for Reims this term in all competitions and is attracting interest from a number of top clubs in Europe. The Gunners are set to make a decision on Balogun's future this summer once he returns from loan, with Stan Kroenke said to have set a £35million asking price for the talented forward.

The Arsenal loanee was initially called up by the Young Lions but was forced to pull out due to injury and has since travelled to the US during the international break. Carsley has now confirmed that he is anticipating talks with the 21-year-old regarding his international future.
