Folarin Balogun's services have become popular at club and international level this season. The Arsenal striker's loan spell at Stade Reims has attracted interest from various clubs ahead of the summer but it's his allegiance at national team level that is the talk of the town right now.
Following a disappointing loan spell with Middlesbrough last season, the 21-year-old ventured out to Europe in the summer in search of regular first team minutes in Ligue 1. Balogun has scored 18 goals in 29 appearances for Reims - outscored by only Kylian Mbappe and Jonathan David.
But despite his astonishing form in France, Balogun has continued to be overlooked by England boss Gareth Southgate. The striker has been a regular at under-21 level in recent years but his exclusion from the Three Lions senior squad has accelerated rumours he will eventually represent the USMNT.
