Folarin Balogun's switch to the USMNT has been welcomed by one of his new teammates ahead of a crucial CONCACAF Nations League semi-final.
The Arsenal academy graduate experienced something of a breakout season during a successful loan spell at Ligue 1 side Stade de Reims last term, with the 21-year-old bagging 22 goals in France. Naturally, after such an impressive campaign, speculation over his international future gathered pace, with the forward eligible to represent three nations.
Although the forward prospect was born in Brooklyn, he grew up primarily in England and has Nigerian parentage. To complicate matters further, Balogun had represented both the US and England at youth level, leaving him with a major decision to make over where his loyalties would ultimately lie.
