United States interim coach Anthony Hudson has confirmed that he has held private talks with Folarin Balogun as the Arsenal striker continues to mull over his international future.
Balogun has impressed away from the Emirates this season in Ligue 1 with Reims, where he has notched 17 league goals in just 27 games. And while that form has led to many people tipping the Hale End graduate to be integrated into Mikel Arteta's team next season, his long-term future is still unclear.
The 21-year-old has enjoyed a fine season, but he appeared to be less than impressed after he failed to make the 25-man England squad for this month's Euro 2024 qualifiers - and the Three Lions could now miss out on his services for good.
