LIVERPOOL TRACKING ARSENAL YOUNG AWARD
Arsenal forward Folarin Balogun has been linked with Liverpool ahead of the January transfer window.
The 19-year-old forward appears to be a big star of the future after making his breakthrough in the first team this season. Our feature about the player here tells you everything you need to know about Balogun.
However, his contract at Emirates Stadium expires this summer and Arsenal have been in talks about an extension. But no agreement has yet been reached, and the Sunday Star Daily acknowledges that Liverpool is on the prowl.
They claim, via The athletic, that the side of Jurgen Klopp are big fans of the player. And since the talks did not result in a deal, they say his departure from North London seems increasingly likely.
That could see Balogun make a free transfer trade to Anfield in the summer. However, the report claims that there is also interest abroad for the Bundesliga forward.

Mikel Arteta is hopeful that Arsenal can convince Balogun to sign a new contract.
After a 4-2 win over Dundalk in the Europa League, Balogun scored one and set up another.
Arteta said: “We are having some discussions with the player.
“He knows we want to keep him at the club. We know that the length of your contract at the moment is a problem, but we are trying to solve it in the best way possible.
“We want him to stay and he told me he wants to stay at the club. Hopefully we can reach an agreement and extend his contract ”.
Balogun has been featured heavily for Arsenal’s under-23s this period, scoring four goals and notching two assists in Premier League 2.
