USMNT handed clear mission as Arsenal star Folarin Balogun betters Kylian Mbappe record

Arsenal youngster Folarin Balogun may be the next big thing to come from the London Colney academy, having impressed with French side Reims on loan. The striker has consistently found the back of the net this season, scoring 14 goals in 20 league games played so far.

It leaves the 21-year-old top of the charts when it comes to goals, beating the likes of Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar in that regard. His impressive breakout campaign could be a suggestion of things to come, with hopes of making it with the Gunners going forwards.

However, there will also be a clear decision to make when it comes to his international career in the future too. Balogun is currently eligible for both England and the USMNT, having represented both at youth level, but currently playing for the Three Lions for the under 21s.
