@@Erick-hr5mv Not every world class player starts off in their teens like Ronaldo or Messi. Do I think he'll be world class? Probably not. But there's nothing wrong with saying potentially because I'm sure many top level strikers have had people scoff at the idea of them being that good before they actually get there. Vardy isn't Haaland, but I'm sure everyone laughed at how good he could be before he found his form with Leicester by working out his alcohol problems.
He can strike and cross with both feet. That's nice. Meanwhile, you can find tape of Jesus Ferreira intentionally dribbling into a second defender because the first defender gives him space to use to his left, and Ferreira just won't take it because he hates his left foot that much. 😑
The USMNT have 8-10 games this summer where there A team will be there. Going to be really fun seeing him linking up with those 2 and Musah and Pulisic
Why is Arsenal so eager to sell him then? The Brazilian league is better than the French League. Sure The saudi league is probably better. Strikers can do well in the bundesliga, french and dutch league but the premier league is a tough league
we may find out later this week/weekend or it could be another few months. Whatever decision he makes, I hope his heart is in it like Turner said at the Press Conferece
I’m here from SouthGate’s comments and from peoples hype over this kid, and while i do agree this kid looks fantastic, what was he doing in the very first clip?? And if this is a highlight video for him why even put that in there ? Not the most flattering start to a highlight video, that also being said tho, the kid looks to have a bright future and if SouthGate wants to be petty because “he hasn’t proven himself” he should go play for 🇺🇸 and the USA fan base would have a great young player with great potential to look forward too(unlike Pepi who looks to have gotta lost in the system).
I think it’s CF, but he plays out left too. Wont really matter, he’d be up top for USA. By far the weakest position, so many wingers. His hold up play seems good as well
I get the hype, but I still don’t 100% love him in the box. He sometimes seems like a guy who would thrive in a 2-striker setup. He’s a bit light, and sometimes looks more like a wide forward than a single-high #9. Still, he more than holds his own as a holdup player. And that holdup play is why Sargent and Dike get so much run out. I don’t see a reason why he’s couldn’t fit with our group. I’m just not sold that in ‘26 or ‘30 that he’ll still be outplaying the other guys in our pool.
Mate if he ends up choosing USA just consider yourselves really lucky. He's still in for a spot in England's squad which actually has a chance at international trophies. And don't compare him to Pepi or Sargent or whatever. Nothing to do with them.
Is this a joke. This man is literally competing with KYLIAN MBAPPE for the Ligue 1 top scorer… Balogun’s 17 to Mbappe’s 19. Put any current USMNT player in Balogun’s position and I guarantee they will be nowhere near competing with Mbappe
No al Milan per piacere mi sembra un origi più giovane!!!

USA have had players who developed in the country leave us before. We lost Ochoa and Araujo to Mexico despite them developing in MLS. Subotic played for our youth teams before switching to Serbia.

Explosive speed and clinical finishing. gimme gimme gimme
Let’s goooooo glad to finally have him commit 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Damn he really is the exact profile of player we need. Hopefully his heart is w the US
It sounds like it will be where he goes to!
I'm getting Kane vibes with this guy: so calm, cool and collective. His creativity is pin-point too.
He could be a potentially world class player, we need to find a way to get him 🇺🇸🇺🇸
😂😂😂

Balogun cmon brother join the USA 🇺🇸 you’d be one of the greatest strikers to ever put on our beautiful USA Jersey 💯👍🏽🔥
HELL YEAH! This video pumps me up! Welcome to USA!
He can strike and cross with both feet. That's nice.

You can remove that question mark now 😭😭😭🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
He has arrived!!! 🇺🇸
HE CAME 🇺🇸😩
This kid is an absolute wizard.. can't wait to see him operate for the greatest country in the world
The speed of Balogun with Weah and Aaronson on the sides would be fun to watch.
The USMNT have 8-10 games this summer where there A team will be there. Going to be really fun seeing him linking up with those 2 and Musah and Pulisic
Looks like B. Aaronson is being relegated to team B
@JXRevolver ya I was really hoping the Gold cup roster was gonna be alot more Europeans based players
This guy has so much potential. God bless him for picking USA
Dude is an athletic beast
USA USA USA!! He's so good! If we can just find another solid defender and some depth by next world cup we could make a deep run!
How deep exactly?

@@ProRel4MLSUSL it’s going to be interesting how the tournament shapes up and out
He is a stronger, faster, more skilled and a better all around striker than Eddie Iketia.

home...lmao. He''s British.
He had a good season but Lacazette also scored a lot goals in Ligue 1 after being shut down in England
We finally have a true number 9.
Lets try to recruit jack Harrison next
HE HAS DECLARED🇺🇸🦅
He reminds me of Paulo Wanchope
He needs more control on his moves. I have high hopes though. He can be a key player in 2026 for US.
OMG I still can’t believe Balogun chose us! Gonna make a middle-aged man cry with those skills! 🤤

See you at the San Siro! ❤️🖤
for US team , again one season in Champagne Stade de Reims ...for him
Welcome to the USMNT Balogun
Chelsea maybe signing him
Oh shiiiiit!
Top teams pay up to 80 million for players like balo and arsenal has him for free Im sure you'll be playing in the first team mate 👍
Gottem! I feel like he’s very similar to weah on the wing up the middle he’s direct & has the run off the shoulder, poaching mentality

Cuz that was a nice set up
His from the ends, London lol I doubt he goes their unless england take the piss out of him . arsenallll academy!!!!
England chose nket over him
If I was him I wouldn't go to the US, he's good enough to play for England.
Is his best position Pulisic's left wing?
I think it’s CF, but he plays out left too. Wont really matter, he’d be up top for USA. By far the weakest position, so many wingers. His hold up play seems good as well
Yes if the hold up play is good he'd be quite welcome.
He will make Pulisic better. Pulisic can take up a central position or play one-twos with Balogun when he drifts left.
USA need finishers. They take forever to get goals against decent opponents.
bros got a 5 star weakfoot

What other forward 21 or younger in our pool is holding up the ball and linking up play that well at a high level?
I love Pepi and think he's got lots of potential but I don't think he's shown hold up play as good as in those clips
Mate if he ends up choosing USA just consider yourselves really lucky. He's still in for a spot in England's squad which actually has a chance at international trophies. And don't compare him to Pepi or Sargent or whatever. Nothing to do with them.

Bang average
Almost as good a striker as Jesus Ferreira 😂
am i watching the same higlight this guy is not good
Pepi is still better. He just looks average...got lucky a lot with defensive mistakes from opponents
Why the hell does the US need to pick English, European guys to play for the US. This is shameful. Have some pride USA.

He was literally born in the USA how is he European??
U mad bro? welcome to the USA!
Can he shoot from outside the box?
I don’t think he will make it at Arsenal we should sell him
Bang average, will fit well with bottle jobs Arsenal
