A number of top European clubs are reportedly interested in a potential transfer deal for Arsenal wonderkid Folarin Balogun.
According to The Athletic, the 18-year-old has failed to agree a new contract at the Emirates Stadium and is now looking to leave the club, with some unnamed leading clubs from around Europe said to be on alert.

Balogun looks a big talent and could have done a job for Arsenal at some point in the future, but it now looks like he’s on his way out of the north London side.
