Swansea City set to rival Liverpool for signing of Arsenal star Folarin Balogun

Swansea City are interested in signing Arsenal youngster and reported Liverpool target Folarin Balogun, according to Football Insider.

The 19-year-old has been linked with the Reds in the past, with his Gunners future up in the air currently.

It is now claimed that Swansea are eyeing up a move for Balogun, albeit on loan, rather than permanently.

The striker has scored twice in the Europa League this season for Arsenal, but the north Londoners will be sweating because his contract expires at the end of the season.

It is always exciting to see Liverpool snap up young English talent, so Balogun could be a shrewd addition, especially as it would mean stealing him away from one of their rivals.

Swansea emerging as a rival to sign him is a threat, though, especially because a loan move allows more time for Balogun to consider his future.

The lure of joining a club a Liverpool’s stature is great, so it will be interesting to see what the youngster’s decision is.

Arsenal will be desperate to keep hold of him, hoping he extends his stay at the Emirates.
