US Analyst Advises Balogun To Ignore Nigeria

Zach Lowy, an American writer and co-founder of BreakingTheLine, has advised Folarin Balogun to choose the US over France and Nigeria, according to ANAEDOONLINE Sports Extra.

Balogun, a rising star in Ligue 1, is divided between playing for Nigeria, the United States, or England because he is qualified to do so.
The Nigerian-born 21-year-parents old’s immigrated to England when he was two years old, and he spent his formative years in London.

With his spectacular achievements so far this season, the striker from the Arsenal school, who is presently on loan in Reims in the French top tier league, is one of the hottest in Europe.

With 15 goals in 24 games this season, he trails only Kylian Mbappé in the goal scoring charts. He’s proven himself to be more than capable of performing at the highest level.
Balogun has represented both England and the United States at the youth levels but is yet to make his senior appearance for any, thus, he is still eligible to play for the three times African champions.

While there have been calls for the forward to represent the Super Eagles, Lowy believes the youngster doesn’t stand a chance of playing regularly for Nigeria with the presence of in-form Victor Osimhen in the team.
“Folarin Balogun would be wise to choose the USA over England and Nigeria,” he wrote on Twitter.

“It’s highly unlikely that he’s going to be overtaking Harry Kane or Victor Osimhen anytime soon and it’s clear that he’s a massive upgrade over any of the USMNT’s current options at centre forward.

“With that being said, I’d expect Balogun’s scintillating form in Ligue 1 will make him believe he has what it takes to challenge for a spot in the England team ahead of Ivan Toney, Callum Wilson, Tammy Abraham or Ollie Watkins. At 21, the sky is the limit for him. Come on over Folarin, the water’s nice and warm.”
