Folarin Balogun will be given a chance to prove his worth in pre-season.
The young forward has been brilliant in his loan spell at Reims, scoring 17 goals to date in his first season.
Only Lille’s Jonathan David and PSG’s Kylian Mbappe have scored more than the England youth international.
The Gunners were even considering recalling the striker due to Gabriel Jesus’ injury back in December.
Many European clubs are interested in the young forward but Arsenal are not in a hurry to cash in on him.
The North London club will decide upon his future once returns at the end of the season.
Alan Hutton believes Folarin Balogun will get a chance to prove himself during the pre-season in the summer.
He tells Football insider:
“Ultimately that is what you do if you are a younger player who is sent out on loan to get that experience to get that know-how to come back and be better and get into the first team.
“Arsenal are in a very good place at this moment in time. Can he come back and add something? He will hope so and that is what the manager will hope as well.
“I am sure he will be given that opportunity in pre-season to go and shine and it is up to him to take it. If he can do that I am sure Arteta will welcome him back with open arms.“
