Gareth Southgate has told Folarin Balogun to carefully think about about changing his international allegiance from England to the United States.
Balogun, 21, was born in New York and has represented the US at U18 level, but he currently plays for England's U21s. The Arsenal forward has scored seven goals in 13 caps for Lee Carsley's side and is pushing for a senior call-up due to his form in France.
Balogun, who is currently on loan at Reims, has scored 18 club goals this season to establish himself as one of Europe's most talented young strikers. US interim manager Anthony Hudson has been in touch with Balogun about representing the country of his birth, while his withdrawal from the England U21 squad due to injury has raised speculation.
