The Championship side is the latest to join the race for the Premier League youngster.

Balogun has risen up through the youth ranks of the London giants and has played nine times for their senior side so far in his career, scoring twice.

However, he has struggled for game time over recent times.

Championship interest 

Millwall and Swansea are believed to be keen now but will have to join some league rivals in the queue.

The Sun on Sunday (28.11.21, pg. 58) reported that Bournemouth are also interested as Scott Parker looks to bolster his attacking options.

What now?

The chase for Balogun this winter is heating up nicely and Arsenal have a big choice to make.

Millwall are pushing for a place in the Play-Offs and he wouldn’t have to move far if he joined the London club.

However, the likes of Swansea, Middlesbrough and Bournemouth are all attractive propositions and have promotion aspirations.

Balogun is under contract with the Gunners until 2025 and will be eager to prove his worth.
