Former Premier League forward Gabriel Agbonlahor has told Arsenal to sell Folarin Balogun this summer to fund a move for a ‘proven striker’.
Speculation is growing that the youngster could leave the club at the end of the campaign if he does not receive assurance of game time at the Emirates Stadium – and Agbonlahor feels a sale would be best for all parties.
He told Football Insider: “He’s done well in France, but I don’t think he’s Arsenal standard. They’re going to be in the Champions League next season, they need another proven striker to compete with [Eddie] Nketiah and Gabriel Jesus.
“I don’t think Arsenal would use him next season if he came back. Him scoring goals in France has helped the club. Now they can put him up for sale and name their price. It’s definitely a sale waiting for Arsenal to make.”
