Pulisic reveals intention to play with Arsenal loanee

Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic, in a statement, revealed he would love Arsenal loanee Folarin Balogun to play for the United States of America national team.

Balogun is eligible to play for three countries the USA, Nigeria and England.

He qualifies to play for the USA because he was born in New York, but he is provisionally cap-tied to England, where he grew up and is also eligible to represent Nigeria through his parents.

There have been strong speculations over the international future of Balogun in recent weeks.

This comes after he withdrew from the England U21 squad on Tuesday ahead of their friendlies, citing an undisclosed injury, which added fuel to the rumours that he is considering switching his allegiance from England to the USA or Nigeria.

“I have not really spoken to him [Balogun] personally,” Pulisic was quoted by Goal as saying.

“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.”
