Folarin Balogun transfer reconsidered as Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta must weigh up new departure

Great run, great pass, great strike and a great goal. Folarin Balogun officially announced himself on the senior international stage by scoring in the CONCACAF Nations League final between the USMNT and Canada.

It was difficult to watch the game and not think that Arsenal need to find a place for this talented young striker in the team next season. The sheer volume of clubs interested in the 21-year-old is enough to show how highly rated he is among Europe’s elite like Champions League finalists Inter Milan, DFB Pokal winners RB Leipzig and Europa League finalists Roma.

From an Arsenal perspective, the hunt for Kai Havertz could create a further obstacle for Balogun. However, the potential for the German international to play in a variety of different positions could keep the door open.
