Arsenal forward Folarin Balogun trains alone at Gunners pre-season base as Inter Milan line-up a £35m bid for the USA forward
Arsenal forward Folarin Balogun trained alone earlier today at their California base as the club prepare to face Barcelona on Wednesday.
The full 29-man squad were present at the LA Rams training facility in Thousand Oaks, with both Balogun and Oleksandr Zinchenko - who is still nursing a calf injury from the end of last season - training separately.
It’s unclear as to why Balogun trained alone, and comes at a time amid much interest surrounding the 22-year-old.
The striker also didn’t feature against Manchester United in New Jersey on Saturday, where 19 players were used.
Inter Milan are said to be preparing a £35million bid, while Arsenal value the player closer to £50million.
Balogun spent last season on loan at Ligue 1 side Reims, where he scored 22 goals in 39 games for the French side.
His performances have seen him linked with a number of clubs, with competition for forward places fierce at the Emirates thanks to Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah.
The striker has also recently pledged his international allegiance to the USA, after initially representing England at U21 level.
It is understood that the North London club are looking to trim their squad before the season begins and are assessing which players could be loaned out.
