England U21 coach Lee Carsley says he plans talks with Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun.

Balogun has led a superb season at Stade Reims, but was forced to pull out of the England junior squad through injury.

However, a Balogun is weighing up a change of international allegiance to the USA and took in their training this week.

Carsley said: "He didn't give me any inkling that there was an issue or that he was thinking of doing anything in the future.

"He said he is looking forward to the summer and all the rest of it so will obviously follow that up after camp. I

"I'll make sure that I go over (to France). I've been to France a couple of times now to watch the players and I'll make a point of going over and meeting Flo.

“You can't twist someone's arms to play for England. You know we can only make him feel as welcome as we can. We rate him highly.

"We've supported him when things weren't great. We called him into the 21s when he was playing for Arsenal's Under-23s because I knew what potential he had.

“He had the loan move to Middlesbrough which was OK.

"He's done excellent this season, he's really going in the right direction if you think about the development that he's on he's going in the right direction and hopefully we can still be a part of that.

"He is is big player for us."
