Arsenal news: Folarin Balogun is a striker in-demand at international level after being snubbed by Gareth Southgate and England
USMNT goalkeeper Matt Turner thinks Arsenal team-mate Folarin Balogun would be a "great addition" to the national team amid speculation the striker is considering pledging his allegiance to Anthony Hudson's side.
Balogun is eligible to represent the United States team because he was born in New York. The striker made four appearances for the USA Under-18s - scoring twice - but has been a regular in the youth teams in England.
"He'd be a great addition to our national team. I think he's done really well, obviously, for his club on loan, and we'll see. The decision has to come from the heart because it's not necessarily an easy task always to come and play in these CONCACAF games. It's a tough region at times. So for us, we'd be really grateful to have him but his heart needs to be in it."
