Fifteen Clubs Make Approach To Sign Arsenal Striker Folarin Balogun
Published: January 08, 2021Fifteen unnamed clubs are all attempting to persuade New York-born Nigerian striker Folarin Balogun to dump his boyhood club Arsenal.
The England U20 international has entered the final six months of his contract with the Gunners and can negotiate a preliminary contract with an overseas club this month.
According to Italian transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano, Balogun is open to extending his stay at Arsenal but he needs to play more and that's the priority for the striker and his agent.
The 19-year-old will consider signing a new deal if his game time increases, if not he will decide among the fifteen clubs battling for his signature, but nothing has been signed or done yet.
Manager Mikel Arteta suggested at Thursday's press conference that Arsenal want to keep hold of Balogun beyond this summer but his agent Emeka Obasi has proved a stumbling block to a deal.
The Hale End Academy product has directly participated in three goals (2 goals, 1 assist) in five matches for Arsenal's first team.
Liverpool, Swansea City and VfB Stuttgart have been credited with an interest in Balogun.
