It Doesn't Bode Well For Youngster's Arsenal Career

Kevin Campbell admits that Folarin Balogun’s future career appears to be away from Arsenal Football Club.

The Gunners have so far been able to tie the young forward down to a new contract, despite the 19 year-old making his senior debut for the club this season in the Europa League and League Cup.

Balogun made an impression when stepping up into the first-team, but still finds himself behind Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah in the pecking order, and it is likely that he would want assurances over playing time in order to stay beyond the summer.

The striker recently caused a stir by removing all of his pictured from his Instagram profile, with some claiming that he has removed all of his ties with Arsenal altogether, and former Gunner Kevin Campbell claims that this is yet another sign that he will be leaving come the summer.

“It looks increasingly likely he will leave in the summer,” Kevin Campbell told the FootballInsider.

“If you start removing everything associated with Arsenal from your social media… Listen, it does not bode well does it.

“It doesn’t look like he will be part of Arsenal moving forward which would be a shame because he is a very talented young man.”

Could Balogun’s recent Instagram actions mean anything else?

Elneny Eyeing New Contract At Arsenal After Earning Second Chance Under Arteta

The Egyptian midfielder spent the 2019-20 season on loan at Besiktas but has been welcomed back into the Gunners fold by a Spanish tactician Mohamed Elneny is looking to complete a remarkable turnaround at Arsenal by landing himself a contract extension. The Egyptian midfielder appeared destined to be heading for the exits when Unai Emery sent him out on loan to Besiktas at the start of the 2019-20 campaign, with alternative options being favoured in north London. Another Spanish coach, Mikel Arteta, has found room for the 28-year-old within his plans, though, and it could be that fresh terms are now thrashed out at Emirates Stadium. What has been said? Elneny has said in the Evening Standard: “Of course, for me I am always loyal to Arsenal. “And if Arsenal say to me: ‘Sign a new contract’, of course I would be happy to do this.” When does Elneny’s current deal expire? Arsenal snapped up a hard-working performer from FC Basel in January 2016. Elneny has taken in 119 appearances for the...

Two Premier League Clubs Want On-Loan Arsenal Man

Crystal Palace and Leeds United are interested in signing Ainsley Maitland-Niles in the summer. The Arsenal man has spent this second half of the season on loan at West Brom after finding first-team chances scarce at the Emirates. He could have joined several teams but chose Sam Allardyce’s struggling side because they guaranteed him minutes in midfield. He has been an ever-present in their team since he made the move from the Emirates. It remains unclear if his performances have earned him the right to get more playing time at Arsenal next season. However, if the Gunners decide that he can leave, the two Premier League teams will pounce to sign him, according to Mirror Football. They face competition from AS Monaco from outside, but he is likely to choose an England stay. Leeds has been one of the best teams to watch in the Premier League this season. Palace is looking to reduce the average age of their squad when the transfer window reopens again and they consider him to be one ...

Arsenal Started Negotiations With 19-Year-Old Brazilian Striker

Kaio Jorge has become a hot property in the transfer market ahead of the summer transfer window. The Brazilian centre-forward is being chased by Arsenal and Chelsea among several other top European teams, with his contract with Santos running out in December. Kaio joined the Santos academy in 2012 at the age of 10 before making rapid strides within the youth setup. Jorge made such a quick impression on his youth bosses that he ended up making his first-team debut in 2018 while still only 16. Since then, he has progressed considerably and has gone on to play 50 further games for Santos. The Brazilian club, though, are in a precarious position over the future of the 19-year-old striker, whose current deal will expire when the year ends. This situation has alerted a number of top clubs in Europe, including Gunners and Chelsea, to the possible availability of the 19-year-old striker. Gunners are set to be forced into the market for a striker owing to the uncertain future of Ale...
