Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun posts three-word cryptic tweet to fuel speculation he could leave the club

The Gunners striker has been heavily linked with a move away from the Emirates.

Folarin Balogun has dropped a hint regarding his Arsenal future amid reports that he will leave the club this summer.

The 21-year-old enjoyed an excellent campaign on loan at Reims last term, plundering 21 goals in Ligue 1.

In turn, he has attracted interest from across Europe, with Arsenal having slapped a £35 million price tag on the striker, claim The Sun.

Balogun is thought to want guarantees over his minutes in north London and is firmly against another loan move.

"What I can say is that I definitely won't go on loan again," said Balogun recently (quotes via 90min).

"I'm not sure [about] the discussions that are going to take place, I'm not sure what's going to happen."

But the recent addition of Kai Havertz from Chelsea is likely to further limit Balogun's first team chances, with the United States international now tipped to leave the club.

According to 90min, Arsenal have informed Balogun to step up his search to find a new club after having rejected the offer of a new contract to extend his £32,000 per-week deal at the Emirates.

And the Hale End graduate has since taken to social media to add fuel to speculation.

Balogun posts cryptic tweet

Posting early on Friday morning, Balogun used an egg timer emoji before writing: "It is time!", leaving fans confused about what he meant.

It remains unclear whether the tweet was in relation to an imminent transfer away, or if he was hinting that he would stay and fight for his place in north London.

But should the young forward decide to take up a new challenge, he will have plenty of suitors, with AC Milan, Inter, Juventus, Marseille, RB Leipzig and Crystal Palace are all said to be interested in signing him.

Meanwhile, journalist Paul Brown can understand the striker's frustrations, revealing that Arsenal are well aware of his talent and promise.

He told GiveMeSport: “Balogun is a whole different situation. He's a massively talented young player, hugely promising.

“Arsenal think they've got a real gem there. But as is the way quite often with players like this, he's had a taste of first-team football and done well in France and thinks it's now time to be in the team. You can't blame him.

“He's ambitious. He wants to push on to be a key part for Arsenal.”
