USA roll out red carpet for Arsenal striker Balogun

The United States are ready and willing to turn Folarin Balogun into one of their poster boys.

The Arsenal loanee, who is at Reims this season, can play for England, USA, or Nigeria at international level.

He does prefer England, but has not been called up by Gareth Southgate as yet.

Balogun may see the Americans as his second best option, given the talent in their squad at present.

Per The Mail, the USMNT see Balogun as the ideal striker to solve their scoring issues.

If there is one position where the men's team is weak, it is in the central striker position.
