Arsenal set a high asking price for Folarin Balogun.
Former Aston Villa man has urged Folarin Balogun to push through a summer move away from Arsenal in this summer window. Gabby Agbonlahor wants this striker to look for a good opportunity.
The US International is being linked by some top European clubs, with Inter Milan insisting he joins them. The Serie A giants have turned to other targets after Arsenal set a high asking price for the sale of their player.
The 22-year-old will be the third-choice striker at the Emirates behind Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah. He played an important role on loan last season. Agbonlahor admits he should push to leave the North London club.
He speaks to Football Insider: “I would also look to leave if I was Balogun.
“He’s got Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah in front of him, meaning that his game time will be very limited.
“Inter Milan is a team that play two upfront, which Arsenal do not do as the Italian side play a 3-5-2 formation.
“He can look at it and create a strong partnership with Lautaro Martinez, so if I’m him, I’m really getting that move pushed through because it is great money as well for Arsenal to receive.”
Agbonlahor has his own opinion but Arteta would try him as the back-up option in the forward position. The 22-year-old has earned the right to play often.
He had a great outing on loan at Reims and will continue scoring at any other club that hands him first-team chances.
