The U.S. men’s national soccer team is close to receiving a commitment from Folarin Balogun, a multinational standout who is among the top scorers in the French division. The 21-year-old Arsenal prospect is also eligible to play for England and Nigeria.
Balogun, 21, has played exclusively with English junior national teams in recent years but remains eligible for the United States and Nigeria .
Hudson said Balogun’s visit has “been good because it’s been an opportunity for us just to share about our program and who we are and what we do. And that’s it. I hope we get the chance to speak to him again. So it’s been good for me and then I know a few other guys have spoken to him as well.”Balogun, who was born in New York, is an Arsenal prospect who, while on loan to French club Reims this season, has scored 17 goals in 27 league appearances.
