Jacobs believes that Arsenal need to speak with the 22-year-old about his future.
Arsenal need to have a conversation with Folarin Balogun about his future at the Emirates, according to journalist Ben Jacobs.
The North London club are looking to boost Mikel Arteta’s squad this summer ahead of the 2023/24. This season, they will take part in the Champions League.
As per the reports of The Sun, the Gunners have slapped a £35m price tag on Balogun, with Crystal Palace, RB Leipzig, AC Milan, and Inter said to be interested in his services this summer.
“I’m not sure [about] the discussions that are going to take place. I’m not sure what’s going to happen. But I’m just committed to now; I try to stay present. I obviously want to enjoy the moment with my team and my family. What I can say is that I definitely won’t go on loan again,” said Balogun (via GOAL).
Arsenal insider Teamnewsandtix has recently told GIVEMESPORT that Mikel Arteta is happy to sell Balogun this summer.
Jacobs believes that Arsenal need to speak with the 22-year-old about his future following his success over the past 12 months.
Jacobs spoke to GIVEMESPORT: “They need to have a conversation with Folarin Balogun because he did so well at Reims. He scored 21 Ligue 1 goals and also scored in the CONCACAF Nations League Final for the United States.
“He wants regular game time, meaning he doesn’t want to go out on loan a second time. That means that Arsenal either have to give him a pathway or sell him. The player will push for one or the other.”
