Arsenal legend Henry encourages Balogun to leave

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has suggested that it may be time for Folarin Balogun to seek a move away from the club.

The center forward, who has declared for the USA at international level, has enjoyed a loan spell at Reims in Ligue 1 this term.

With Arsenal having Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah, Balogun may find he has a tough route to a first team spot.

Speaking on CBS Sports, Henry said: "For him next year, it is important that he plays.

“I don't know if he will play for Arsenal, With England, he had to battle with Callum Wilson, Ivan Toney, Ollie Watkins, Tammy Abraham, Harry Kane.

"He is a great player for USA as they are missing that No.9. He has been great in France, now he has to find a team where he will play next year."
