Arsenal loanee Folarin Balogun is continuing to attract interest from around Europe after his superb season in France with Stade de Reims. The striker has scored 18 goals in Ligue 1 and faces a big decision over the summer.
The forward is set to hold crunch talks with the Gunners over his future in the summer after attracting interest from Premier League and European clubs. Reports have claimed that Balogun insists he will be keen to leave the Gunners should he not be guaranteed opportunities next season.
With another loan move said to be ruled out by his representatives, only a permanent deal will be sanctioned if the New York-born forward decides to leave the club.

Following reports of AC Milan and Red Bull Leipzig's interest, it is now said that Marseille have shown an interest in the striker over a possible move in the summer. According to L'Equipe, the French side have entered the running for the 22-year-old after being left impressed with his performances in France.
The French side are reportedly eyeing a new striker to add competition to former Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez. Igor Tudor's side have scored 54 goals this season, with Alexis scoring 16. The second highest scorer is centre-back Chancel Mbemba and Gunners left-back Nuno Tavares with six.
"Contractually I have to go back," he told the official Ligue 1 website when discussing his future. "Because the loan was only for one year so that was always the agreement. But I wouldn't, um, I'm not sure what is going to happen in the future.
"A lot could happen in football, a lot could change, and it just depends on the conversations we have between me and the club in the summer, and we'll see what happens."
