After hearing that he had transfer negotiations with Chelsea, Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun posted a mysterious update on his Instagram page.
Balogun spent a successful season on loan at Ligue 1 team Reims, where he scored 21 goals in 37 league games. Balogun then returned to the Emirates Stadium for the start of preseason.
However, it was claimed that if the striker could not be guaranteed first team playing time, the Gunners might decide to sell him.
Balogun missed Arsenal’s opening-weekend Premier League victory over Nottingham Forest due to an ankle injury he sustained during the team’s preseason tour of the US in July.
The player’s representatives have reportedly spoken with Chelsea about a potential transfer this summer, according to talkSPORT.
According to rumors, Fulham and Monaco are also considering signing him.
Currently, Balogun has updated his Instagram account with a mysterious message.
In the midst of Arsenal transfer rumors, Balogun posts a mysterious Instagram update.
The 21-year-old United States international posted a picture from inside London Colney, Arsenal’s training facility, on his Instagram story as he gets closer to making a comeback.
A mysterious “thumbs-up” caption was included with the picture.

Chelsea has been informed of Arsenal’s £40 million asking price for Balogun this summer, according to the Daily Mirror.
Although Arteta is reportedly willing to approve the striker’s transfer, the club may feel more pressure to sell after new signing Jurrien Timber suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury.
According to Arteta, additional reinforcements are required because the Netherlands defender might miss the remainder of the season.
“We didn’t plan for this injury, so we have to assess now what the options are and the best way to get the most out of the players,” he said.
“Anything that is not here is out of my control. We must always be prepared to respond in the event of an incident, whether it involves a market change or a personal injury. “.
