Florian Playing Himself Into International Call Ups

Florian has been having quite the fruitful season in France even if his team itself aren't doing very well and as it stands, Balogun has found the net six times in 11 league appearances, that's one more than Lionel Messi (5), and two less than Kylian Mbappe (8). He is also equal on goals with former Gunner Alex Lacazette.

While he is still 10 years his junior and Laca plays for a far stronger team, he continues to keep pace with the top strikers in the league His performances haven’t gone unnoticed, with Arsenal legend Thierry Henry claiming that the youngster’s decision to head to France is paying off.

And now we're seeing a 3 way fight for his services at international level.

Balogun’s current deal with the Gunners runs until 2025, so his club future is secure but his international career is undecided, he could play for either the USA, Nigeria or England and it all depends on who secures his first cap.

“Above everything, I feel English, but I also have an American side, because I have family in New York and I love going there. I have my grandmother and cousins in Lagos (Nigeria), even if I haven’t been there since I was very young. My mother sometimes speaks to me in Yoruba and it is important to me,” said Balogun.

If I was Balo, I'd opt for the US since they would offer me the most game time, and chance of winning something while Nigeria he faces a lot of competition to lead the line for the super eagles.
