While Balogun has long been held in high regard at the esteemed Emirates Stadium, it appears that he must now cast his gaze elsewhere to advance his professional journey.

The presence of established figures like Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli in the Arsenal squad poses a significant challenge for the young striker to secure a prominent role. Understandably, Balogun’s ambitions likely surpass that of a mere backup position, with the desire for consistent minutes on the pitch serving as a key driver behind his potential decision.
