Balogun to replace Sanchez, former Arsenal favorite, on Marseille's shortlist

Posted : 20 April 2023
Given the uncertainty surrounding the fates of former Gunners favorites Alexis Sanchez and Cengiz Ünder, Marseille is evaluating the possibilities of signing Balogun and Southampton prodigy Sékou Mara.

After leaving Inter Milan, Sanchez signed a one-year deal with Marseille in August of last year.

Since arriving at Stade de Reims last summer, Balogun has won over everyone with his goal-scoring performances. 

The Hale End Academy graduate is currently fourth in the hunt for the Golden Boot with 18 goals in Ligue 1, behind Lyon's Alexandre Lacazette, Lille's Jonathan David, and Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappe.

In recent seasons, Marseille has transacted business with the Gunners, signing defenders Nuno Tavares and William Saliba on loan agreements. 

Balogun has made it clear that he wants to play regularly for Arsenal, but it won't be simple for the England U21 international of Nigerian descent to break into the starting lineup given that Mikel Arteta's preferred strikers are Gabriel Jesus, Eddie Nketiah, and Leandro Trossard. 

Clubs in La Liga, Serie A, and the Premier League are also keeping an eye on the position of the 21-year-old, particularly RB Leipzig.
