Folarin Balogun's transfer preference has been revealed, following mass speculation surrounding his future.

Balogun, who is currently on loan at French side Reims, has set Ligue 1 alight this season, scoring a whopping 17 goals.

Only Lille's Jonathan David and Paris-Saint Germain forward Kylian Mbappe have scored more in the division, whilst no player aged 21 or under has netted more goals across Europe’s top five leagues this season.

His rich vein of form has caught the eye of multiple clubs across the continent, with the Englishman's future currently up in the air.

Balogun has two years left on his contract at the Emirates, and Arsenal have a decision to make on whether they reintegrate him back into the side, or cash in while his stock is high.

However, it seems Balogun's personal preference would be to stay in north London, following recent reports.

Balogun's transfer stance

The Evening Standard claim that Balogun 'would love to make the grade at the Gunners, where he came through the academy'.

Whilst the report also reveals he has a photo of himself in an Arsenal shirt next to his peg in the changing room at Reims' training ground.

The striker has kept his cards close to his chest regarding his future, insisting talks are required with Mikel Arteta and the club to establish his next step.

The Premier League leaders have relied on both Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah this season, whilst Balogun is thought to want to play regular football wherever he goes.

Should Arsenal choose to part ways with the Hale End graduate, he will not be short of options, with a whole host of clubs expected to battle it out for his signature.

Balogun faces an equally tricky decision over his international future, with the 21-year-old eligible to represent England, United States and Nigeria.

Having previously pledged his allegiance to England, Balogun withdrew from the Under-21 squad last week, sparking further speculation over who he will choose to represent.

England boss Gareth Southgate recently addressed the situation, urging Balogun to be patient and wait for his opportunity in a Three Lions shirt.
