Folarin Balogun has decided not to play for England and instead represent the United States ahead of the World Cup in 2026 which will be hosted in North America. The decision comes ahead of what could be a pivotal summer for Balogun as his Arsenal future remains up in the air.
Balogun has spent the season on loan at Reims where he scored his 20th goal for the club in a 2-1 defeat to Lens last week. These goals have given him reason to push for regular football next season which at Arsenal is certainly not guarenteed.
Both Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Jesus are ahead of him and there have been suggestions the Gunners could still look to invest in another forward in the summer. Leandro Trossard has also been utilised at centre-forward successfully too and presents as yet another obstacle for the now former England youth international.
