Arsenal star Folarin Balogun is set for a decisive summer with his future at the Gunners significant up for debate. The 21-year-old's goal-scoring success on loan at Stade Reims this season is well-documented and it has therefore given Mikel Arteta and Edu a major decision to make at the end of the campaign.
17 goals from 27 Ligue 1 appearances has clearly placed Balogun in a position where he is ready to be transitioned into the Arsenal first-team. Unfortunately, his pathway into the senior XI is somewhat blocked by both Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah.
The Brazil international became Arsenal's first choice number nine after joining the club from Manchester City last summer. However, a significant knee injury suffered at the World Cup saw him miss over four months of action, but Nketiah, six months on from signing a new long-term contract, proved his worth to Arteta in Jesus' absence by grabbing an important six goals from six games in all competitions throughout December and January.
