FOLARIN Balogun, who is of Nigerian descent and plays for the U21 level of the England national team is available and likely to represent the United State of America's football team.

The Arsenal forward on loan at Stade de Reims is eligible to represent England, as he was born in New York City.

The player can also represent the Nigerian national team, as his parents are from Nigeria, and he can again decide to remain with England, as he grew up in England having represented the country at the U21 levels.

Chelsea forward, who captains the USA national team, Christian Pulisic has revealed that he would love the forward to play for the USA national team alongside himself.

“I haven’t really spoken to him personally. I know some of the guys that know him from previous teams or whatever have reached out to him and spoken to him. From our side, we’d love to have him,” Pulisic said. 

Balogun, who is banging goals in France, was named in the latest U21 squad but had to pull out due to an undisclosed injury.
