Aaron Ramsey warns Arsenal towards promoting Folarin Balogun
The former Gunners midfielder got here nose to nose with proficient striker Balogun, 21, in Ligue 1 clashes between his mortgage membership, Reims, and Ramsey’s Nice final season.
“He’s a very good player,” Ramsey is quoted by Goal as saying.
“We played against him a couple of times and, from what I saw, he’s a very exciting player.
“Arsenal have many great players but he’s definitely got the quality. He’s good enough for the Premier League.”
Balogun has declared that he will not be going out on loan again next season as he targets a first-team function at Arsenal.
However, the imminent arrival of Kai Havertz may see him relegated to fourth selection behind the German, Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah.
The Gunners reportedly need £35million to money in on the academy graduate after his 22-goal season in France.
“What I can say is that I definitely won’t go on loan again,” Balogun stated earlier this month. “I’m not sure [about] the discussions that are going to take place, I’m not sure what’s going to happen.
“But I’m just committed to now, I try to stay present. I obviously want to enjoy the moment with my team and my family.”
