AC Milan want to sign Arsenal striker Flo Balogun.
The England youth international in spending the season on loan in Ligue 1 with Reims, scoring ten goals in 16 games, and breaking a number of records at the French club.
With only Neymar and Kylian Mbappé involved in more goal actions in the French top flight, it is no wonder his performances have caught the eyes of other clubs.
He is under contract with the Gunners until 2025, but the club may consider selling him if they can get good value for him (something they have been very poor at in the recent past).
Although he is due back at the Emirates at the end of the season, there is no obvious first-team path for him, with Gabriel Jesus established as the main striker, and, with his deputy, Eddie Nketiah, beginning to find the goals in the Brazilian’s absence through injury.
Born in the USA, Balogun is also qualified to play for them, and could still opt to make the switch should they request his services.

He loves all sports but football is his abiding passion, and he still has dreams every now and then about scoring the winning goal in a Wembley Cup Final, even though his playing days are long gone. He follows most major leagues, across Europe at least, and has a favoured team in each. When he’s not watching, listening, reading or downloading podcasts about football, he spend his time worrying about his beloved Arsenal.
