AC Milan and Inter Milan are said to be interested in Arsenal loanee Folarin Balogun. The young Arsenal forward is currently on loan at Stade Reims, a team in Ligue 1. The 21-year-old Balogun has scored 17 goals in 28 games across all competitions.
He is shining for Will Still’s team, ranking joint third in the French league’s top scorers. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, AC Milan is interested in signing Balogun this summer. With Zlatan Ibrahimovic reaching the end of his playing career, the Rossoneri are looking for a new forward.
Divock Origi, on the other hand, hasn’t done as well as many expected since joining Liverpool last summer. However, Inter is also keeping an eye on the Arsenal loanee, as are their rivals. After his summer loan ends, Romelu Lukaku is expected to return to Chelsea.
At the conclusion of the season, it appears that Edin Dzeko will also leave the team on a free transfer. The Gunners still have two years left on Balogun’s contract. Transfermarkt values him at €14 million. The forward’s willingness to leave Arsenal permanently this summer remains to be seen.
The team of Mikel Arteta has a history of bringing in young talent and seeing results. William Saliba was named Ligue 1’s Young Player of the Year last season while on loan at Marseille. He came back to the Emirates in the summer and helped the team have a great season. Saliba may serve as an example for Balogun of a young Gunners talent who can succeed back at the club.
Ian Wright, a legendary Arsenal player, heaps praise on Leandro Trossard:
During Arsenal’s 3-0 victory over Fulham on Sunday (March 12), Leandro Trossard put in his best performance yet for the club. The Gunners maintained their five-point lead over Manchester City, which is currently in second place, thanks to the Belgian attacker’s hat trick of assists.
Wright has praised Trossard since he joined the club in January for £27 million from Brighton & Hove Albion. According to football.London, he believes that the winger is extremely valuable to Arteta’s team:
“He knows exactly what is expected of him because he has played against the players.”
Wright completed:
“Consequently, acquiring a signing like that, who is able to enter and is proficient, is invaluable to us. From the first game to the present, he has demonstrated that he is an incredible addition to this team.”
Since joining the Gunners, Trossard has made five assists and scored one goal in ten games across all competitions. He is now a crucial member of the north London side’s team that is vying for the title.
