Former USA star Eric Wynalda has slammed England over their treatment of Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun.

Balogun, on-loan at Reims, has committed to the USA this past week.

Wynalda told The Action Network: "Gareth Southgate has certainly made some missteps here with his comments about the talented American playing in France.

"Southgate said: 'We can't just hand out international opportunities to a player simply because we don't want them to play for somebody else'. Whoops - If he could take that one back now I think he would.

"Southgate has completely underestimated Folarin's ability and tried to shrug it off. Sorry, but there are times where English arrogance needs to be illuminated and this is one of them."
