Folarin Balogun, the talented Arsenal striker, has become a target for both Milan clubs as he looks set to depart the Emirates Stadium this summer. The former England Under-21 star has garnered attention across Europe following an impressive loan spell at Reims, where he notched 22 goals.AC Milan and Inter Milan are among the teams vying for Balogun's signature, while Roma is also keeping tabs on his situation, particularly amidst uncertainty surrounding the future of Tammy Abraham.
Balogun, who is due to return to Arsenal after the conclusion of his loan deal, seems increasingly unlikely to stay with the Gunners. The 21-year-old has expressed a desire to continue playing regular first-team football following his breakthrough season at Reims.
Given that Gabriel Jesus is Arsenal's preferred striker, Balogun faces an uphill battle in surpassing the Brazilian international in the pecking order for the upcoming season. Furthermore, Eddie Nketiah remains at the club, further limiting Balogun's prospects for significant game time.
With two years remaining on his current contract, Arsenal, albeit reluctantly, will seriously consider selling Balogun in preparation for the forthcoming season. The young center-forward, who has represented England at junior levels, has decided to pledge his international allegiance to the United States at the senior level.Currently, Balogun finds himself in Los Angeles, training alongside his international teammates ahead of the CONCACAF Nations League. He will be hoping to make a positive start to his international career as the US Men's National Team prepares to face Mexico in the semi-final match this month.
