According to journalist Matteo Moretto, Inter Milan are interested in signing Arsenal and USMNT forward Folarin Balogun.

Playing with Ligue 1 outfit Reims last season, the 22-year-old scored 21 goals in the French top flight before returning to the Gunners after the end of his loan spell in France.

Balogun’s contract at the Emirates runs until 2025 and Fabrizio Romano reports that he is open to making a permanent move from the Premier League club.

Inter will ask for final conditions of Folarin Balogun deal early next week. Balogun is open to permanent move but Arsenal are expected to request important fee ✨🇺🇸
