Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta admits he is unsure about the future of Folarin Balogun.
The forward is one who is highly rated at the North London club.
However, the youngster does want to play more first team football, which is why a loan move has been mooted for the January transfer window.
Speaking after Arsenal’s 2-0 win over Leeds United in the Carabao Cup, where Balogun was an unused substitute, Arteta said to reporters: “We will see what happens. Again, with Flo we have a really clear project. The steps that he’s making, they are the right steps.
“Don’t forget he is really young, he hasn’t played almost any professional football, and you need to go through every phase – and don’t try to jump phases when you are not ready to do so.
“Again I’m really happy with him, he’s making the right progress and in December we will see where we are and what’s the best for him as well.”
