Flo seems to often find himself in good positions to finish. That’s what you need from a striker and it’ll be beneficial to the nats.
You probably did. And it wouldn't be the first time he's been mentioned with regard to them either. It's no surprise. Just-gone-21s with 21 goals in 37 Ligue 1 games are thin on the ground and Osminen being on his way (probably) leaves a gap that needs quality to fill. He's an - the - obvious port of call.
Yep, but they're not getting EPL TV money so that's out of the question. That said, they have enough money already to buy Ligue 1's top young striker and the Osimhen transfer fee will only reinforce that. And it's not as if shopping for young strikers in Ligue 1 worked out badly the last time. Just ask Victor Osimhen
Yea if this is the case I’m hoping they just buy Balogun as the forward position. Otherwise he’s probably better off going to Milan who over the last few years have developed some serious talent.
Double YA rumors: Auston Trusty set to leave #AFC permanently this summer. Trusty was POTS at Birmingham last year. More smart use of the loan market to generate value for Arsenal. Pepe and Balogun also set to follow him permanently in leavingFull story 👇https://t.co/tiXeJCDDLK— Kaya Kaynak (@kayakaynak97) June 7, 2023
Both Trusty and Balogun are definitely on the move. They're in demand but have too many better/established players ahead of the in the Arsenal pecking order. If they wind up at the likes of, say, Nottingham and Frankfurt respectively that's only good news for them and for the MNT

Have never heard of Bella-Kotchap but so wish his name were Bolla or Balla-Kotchap...Bottle'o'Ketchup. I'll see myself out.

My takeaways from that MIB interview….. The kid just gets it. He’s mature. He’s humble and grounded. He knows what he wants from his career. So happy he’s repping the US.
To me, he comes across like a Kobe Bryant type. Very confident, serious person. Also serious about his training for instance his running training on his own, unlike De La Fuente, who has God-given speed, but doesn't train well and prefers to party.
Yep. He's unlikely to make it at Arsenal, but there are a lot of quality teams where he'll be first choice and have an excellent career. If he leaves Arsenal and becomes a starter at Wolves, Fulham or, say, Marseilles that's only good news for him and the US pool.
I'm still very confused by Arsenal letting someone like Flo head off. He lit up the French league on a not so great side. With CL and domestic cups - they have to be able to offer him quite a bit of time on the pitch. If I was Arsenal I'd be doing all I could to assure him of time on the field this season and letting him know it's up to Flo to make the most of it. We shall see. It's not like the front line attackers will be healthy all season and to let a 20+ goal scorer in France go seems absurd
Well, both their wingers just made the Top U21 World Team put out by FIFA (?) I believe. I think they have a couple of other high end prospects from what I have heard. May just be circumstances on this one. He doesn’t want to be loaned and I get that so Arsenal may not have a choice. Those wingers and prospects are probably part of the reason we got him over England so we should be happy about that!
ohhh I agree. Arsenal has an embarrassment of riches at the moment. But I can't imagine a world where I would want someone on the books of that quality to head off. Alas, i'm just a keyboard warrior.
True, but Arsenal are determined to land Declan Rice, which is going to set them back by at least £90 million, and they also need at least one other CB as backup for Saliba. Balogun will bring £30 million, probably more, right now. That'll go a long way towards the transfer fee of the likes of Niklas Sule or Alessandro Bastoni. Then there's question of whether he's EPL & CL-ready right now, which is what Arteta needs, and the lad is rightly reluctant to go on loan again. Even if he is ready, Arteta uses a 4-2-3-1 or an attacking 4-3-3. There's not a lot of room for Folarin there unless he's willing to be third choice behind Gabriel Jesus and Nekietah, hoping that one of them gets injured. Even then, Martinelli and Trossard can play up top, either as strikers or false 9s. A permanent move is far more likely than not IMO
