Arsenal will have a decision to make on whether to sell Folarin Balogun this summer, according to The Athletic reporter David Ornstein.

The trusted journalist claims a permanent move away from the Emirates “appeals” to the striker, who would likely refuse any attempt to loan him out for another season:

🚨 Big call ahead for Arsenal on Folarin Balogun. 21yo striker wants to be 1st choice next season; ideally at #AFC but not looking realistic, so a move appeals amid huge interest. 2yrs left on contract & no plans to renew or go on loan again @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/KTKkdTlITR

Balogun has been in outstanding form out on loan at Stade Reims this campaign, having racked up 19 goals in all competitions for the French team.

As Ornstein points out, with the 21-year-old having just two years remaining on his contract, the Gunners may have to sell in order to prevent his value from depreciating.

Following his form in France, Balogun is in huge demand, with AC Milan, Inter Milan, Marseille, Monaco and RB Leipzig all said to be keen on securing the forward’s signature.

If he can’t be guaranteed game time by manager Mikel Arteta then it appears that the England Under 21 international could be on the move in the coming months.
