Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta fears out on losing the services of the highly-promising forward talent Folarin Balogun to Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool FC, claims reports from the Daily Mail.
The 19-year-old Balogun plans on running his contract down with the Gunners, with the teenage starlet’s current deal expiring this summer as talks to agree upon an extension at the Emirates Stadium not bearing any fruits for Arteta and Co.
Liverpool FC’s interest in making a move for the U20 England international could stem from Jurgen Klopp’s growing desire to foster youth talent at the Merseyside outfit, giving them an extended yet clear path into greater first-team involvement in the years to come.
Curtis Jones is one such player who has enjoyed a tremendous rise up the senior squad ranks at Anfield since the backend of last season, giving hope to many promising young talents to make the move to the 19-time league champions.
Besides Klopp’s side, Newcastle United and Brighton are two other top-flight clubs across the country keeping tabs on Balogun’s situation as the January transfer window opened on the turn of the year.
