West Ham now FAVOURITES to win race for £50m Arsenal ace as Arteta forces him out

Posted by

West Ham United are currently the 5/1 favourites with Ladbrokes to be Folarin Balogun’s next club if he leaves Arsenal this summer.

The talented young American forward spent last season on loan at Reims and looked hugely impressive in Ligue 1, though it is not yet clear where exactly his future lies.

Balogun has been pictured back on pre-season with Arsenal, but it is widely expected that Mikel Arteta will allow the striker a move away if the price is right.

Balogun’s asking price may be as high as £50million and he’s been linked with a number of clubs in England and across Europe.

For now, however, it seems West Ham could be the main name to watch, according to the bookies.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: “Arsenal’s loss could be a huge local rival’s gain if the latest odds are anything to go by, with Folarin Balogun seemingly set for an Emirates exit this summer.”

  1. If Balogun has proven himself on loan and has been trained as a talent why are Arsenal looking to ship him out surely our front line is not that good we can let players of caliber go. Someone educate me please.

    1. Your guess is as good as mine, mate. Personally I would keep Flo and let Eddie go, who I don’t rate. But they need the money to buy more players!!

  2. I hear you mate although Eddie has done alright when he has been given the chance. If we need to sell players for more additions then surely a proven goal scorer is required as much as I love Jesus for his work rate and passion is he going to give us 25 goals a season I’m not sure mate. One little dig before I go Mbabbe to Arsenal what planet are these people on why waste Time with such fake gossip.
