Mikel Arteta could look to loan prolific Arsenal youngster Folarin Balogun out again next season…
The 21-year-old has been outstanding at French side Reims this term, banging in the goals and only trailing Kylian Mbappe and Jonathan David in the scoring charts.
Overall, in 28 league appearances for Reims, the centre-forward has scored 17 goals and made three assists, giving him an outstanding average of 0.71 goal contributions per game., with Italian giants Inter Milan allegedly making enquiries about the youngster.Speaking tohe said: “Right now I don’t see Arsenal entertaining an outright sale for Balogun in the summer.”
“Or, they could send him out on one more loan and then work out whether or not he’s good enough to be a regular first teamer.“After pre-season, when they’ve looked at him up close and personal, that’s when they’ll determine whether or not they want to keep him or explore another loan deal.” The Gunners currently have two solid striker options in Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah, who have helped fire them to the top of the Premier League, so it may prove impossible for Balogun to pip them to a starting spot.the Reims loanee was asked about returning to Arsenal in the summer.“What I’ve been able to do so far, I’m sure it’s making a lot of noise – not just at Arsenal but everywhere. It’s just about continuing that, staying focused and helping the team.
