Sheffield United fans have chosen Liverpool Rhian Brewster over Arsenal’s Folarin Balogun this summer.
The Blades are looking to sign a new striker in this transfer window and they have made both teenage strikers their target.
Balogun has entered the final year of his Arsenal deal and he is looking to leave the club for a team that will give him first-team chances.
The Blades are promising him that, but they are struggling to agree to a deal with Arsenal for his signature.
Examiner Live reports that Yorkshire Live ran a survey with the club’s fans and they were asked to select which of the strikers that they would like their team to sign, and they seem to prefer Brewster who has had first-team experience playing on loan at Swansea in the second half of last season.
The report claims that 76 percent of those who responded to the survey chose the Liverpool striker.
Balogun has yet to break into the Arsenal first team, but he has been prolific for the club’s youth teams, scoring 10 goals in 15 matches for their under23 last season.
Arsenal has asked the Blades to pay at least £10m to sign him after they had a bid of £3m rejected for his signature.
Aside the sale of Martinez, selling Balogun would be the second wrong stepping decision by our team this season.
This guy is one for the future. At least going by transfer romours this season (although I take whatever I read in the media regarding our transfer business with a pinch of salt) to the etxtent of Arsenal overpricing him to discourage Sheffield in this covid ridden season gives me the assurances that MA has his eyes on him.
I believe in MA and Edu and I hope they keep this lad.
OT: FOOTBALL HISTORY HAS JUST BEEN MADE Man Utd score a penalty awarded AFTER the final whistle has already bben blown! What a scandal! What a farce and damn the very harmful existence of VAR! Football is a joke and not worth watching now that this farce has been allowed!
It’s a buffling decision fox and that foul from Fernandez on a yellow card could easily be a second!!
