Arsenal confirm the departure of this striker

Arsenal have confirmed the departure of their striker Folarin Balogun from the club.

The Gunners revealed that Balogun has joined another English club, Middleborough, on loan.

According to the reports, Balogun will remain with the Championship side until the end of this season.

The 20-year-old striker has been at the Emirate Stadium since he was ten and signed a new long-term deal last season.

Balogun has continued to impress this season, with 15 goals from his 14 appearances in the PL2 and EFL Trophy.

He is eligible to play for Nigeria, USA and England, but Folarin has chosen to represent the latter up to the under-21 level.

“Everyone at the club wishes Folarin all the best during his time with Middlesbrough.

“The loan is subject to the completion of regulatory processes,” the statement added.

In another report, Arsenal will make a short trip to Anfield on Thursday night, where they will face Liverpool in the semi-final of the EFL.

The winner between the two club would go on to face Chelsea in the final of the tournament.
