Prior to his own injury problems, Nketiah did a fantastic job filling in for Gabriel Jesus.
However, with Balogun performing well abroad, the 23-year-old’s future at the North London club may not be as bright. The striker, who makes £100k per week, has shown to be an excellent stand-in for the injured Gabriel Jesus and has contributed in several crucial occasions, most notably his brace against Manchester United.
Arteta’s Hale End academy graduate is now recovering from an ankle injury, and manager Mikel Arteta is hesitant to see him play again too soon. In all competitions this season, Nketiah has scored nine goals and added two assists.
While Arteta continues to benefit from this mess, Balogun is “unlikely to want to return to the club” if he is below Nketiah on the priority list.
I hope so. When Jesus got injured, many people believed that Arsenal’s title chances were over. However, Nketiah stepped up and has been nothing short of outstanding in his 23 domestic games.
The impressive Reims loanee, according to Italian reports, has a transfer value of roughly £35 million, therefore selling Balogun could free up the Gunners to look elsewhere in the upcoming transfer market. Once he is fully fit, Gabriel Jesus will take over the team; under Mikel Arteta, the former Man City player is undoubtedly going to accomplish incredible things.
