Balogun breaks silence after Arteta makes him train away from Arsenal teammates

Arsenal youngster Folarin Balogun has sent a cryptic message on Twitter after training away from his Gunners teammates on Monday

Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun has taken to social media after training away from his teammates during Monday's session in Los Angeles.

football.london understands that Balogun is available at the right price, with some reports suggesting that the Gunners value the USMNT international at £50million. The 22-year-old trained separately from the rest of Mikel Arteta's squad on Monday, perhaps a hint regarding his future at the Emirates Stadium.

Balogun was part of the group for their initial warm ups and stretches but as the rest of the squad went off to do drills involving the ball, he went back into the dressing room before emerging to do shuttle runs with a fitness coach on his own. Now, he has posted a cryptic message on Twitter, tweeting a picture of him in an Arsenal shirt with the caption simply a diamond emoji.

football.london understands that Inter Milan hold an interest in the young striker, who wasn't involved in the squad as the north London outfit lost 2-0 to Manchester United in New Jersey on Saturday.

"We have some options up front and we wanted to load some players that’s why some players didn’t have any exposure but they will in the next game," Arteta said after the match. The Hale End academy graduate enjoyed a stellar 2022/23 campaign on loan in Ligue 1 with Reims, where he scored a hugely impressive 21 league goals.

His tally was only bettered by Kylian Mbappe, Jonathan David and Alexandre Lacazette - a hugely impressive feat considering his age.
