Folarin Balogun has reported on social media that he will leave Arsenal in the summer transfer window.
The 18-year-old is considered one of the more promising youngsters currently on the books at the Emirates Stadium, and was recommended for a first-team breakthrough in the near future.
After last season’s goal in the club’s U18 title win season, Balogun scored every 62 minutes, scored 10 goals and gave four assists in 15 Premier League 2 games, Balogun has high hopes.
However, his future will be outside of North London.
The teen has started the last 12 months of his contract at the Emirates Stadium and will be sold when the summer transfer window opens while his club tries not to lose him for nothing next year, explains The Athletic’s David Ornstein.
As expected, this report has caused a great response from Arsenal fans on social media.
Many fear that Balogun may be the latest for the Gunners who got away after seeing how Jeff Reine-Adelaide and Donyell Malen have excelled elsewhere since leaving the club.

But what does Balogun think of all the speculation about his future?
Well, maybe he could have given an insight into what’s going on with his latest social media activity
Without saying a word, Balgoun uploaded a picture of him to Twitter in a first team training session with Cedric Soares.
