Folarin Balogun has returned to Arsenal for pre-season training ahead of a key summer for the striker. With reports linking him strongly with a move away from the Emirates Stadium, he has just one week before travelling back out to America with the Gunners.
Arsenal will be touring USA in July as part of their preparations for the 2023/24 campaign and Balogun may well act as a major star for the trip after switching his international allegiances to USMNT. Having announced that he would represent USA, the 22-year-old was born in New York, he went on to score his first goal for his country last month in the CONCACAF Nations League final.
Balogun was part of a successful USMNT side under BJ Callaghan that won the tournament with the Hale End graduate starting both the semi-final and final matches against Mexico and Canada respectively. As one of the hottest young forwards in the world, his stock continues to rise.
