FOOTBALL Revealed: No club wanted to sign Omala
The centre-forward is a key figure in the Gor Mahia set-up and is establishing himself as a dependable scorer.
I'm told that there have been talks between Folarin Balogun’s representatives and the Arsenal hierarchy about his future. Balogun has got to that stage of his career where he's been on loan for a season at Reims and he has played really, really well getting 21 goals in the league last season. He wants regular first-team football now, he's got the taste for it.” said Sheth.
It's claimed by Italian journalist Rudy Galetti that Juventus have earmarked the potent striker as a potential summer purchase, having been impressed with his development across the last 12 months.
The Tweet from Galetti claims that Juventus could approach Arsenal for the USMNT international's signature, should the Turin-based outfit wave goodbye to Dusan Vlahovic this summer.

Lackluster defending allowed the hosts to pounce on a spilt ball from a first half set piece.
As such, it could be that regular game time presents itself elsewhere for Balogun, with Arsenal rumoured to be considering the striker's departure.
A report from earlier in the year detailed that Arsenal are hopeful of landing a fee in the region of £50 million, should they green-light his exit, with the north Londoners confident he can develop into one of Europe's best finishers.
One of the unlikely standout stars of the 2022/23 season, Balogun shone for Reims while on loan, netting a combined total of 22 goals across all competitions (Transfermarkt).
As alluded to by Sheth, that figure included 21 league goals, which turned out to be the fourth-highest total across the division last season (BBC Sport).
