Balogun looks set to be on the move this summer, with Inter Milan readying a bid for the Hale End Academy product.

The youngster was ‘’ in France last season and it would be a shame for Arsenal to lose such a talented youngster.

Nevertheless, if Balogun does end up leaving, Arsenal will surely look to insert a buy-back clause. The youngster looks set to have a bright future ahead of him and it would be a real shame if that wasn’t in North London.
