England U21 coach Lee Carsley admits Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun needs to leave on-loan.

Carsley believes playing for the Arsenal U23 side is "too easy".

Speaking ahead of England's Euro 2023 qualifier against the Czech Republic, Carsley reflected on Balogun's situation at Arsenal.

The England U21 boss said: "He's probably missed out on that little bit of senior football. You need testing.

"Watching him in the U23's for Arsenal, it's probably a little bit too easy for him and he's passed that level.

"I imagine he wants to play for Arsenal and pushing for a position but it's such a big club with a lot of competition.

"They'll have a career path for him and a way to break through because he's got all the attributes. He's level-headed, wants to work hard, asks really good questions. He wants information. He's picking Ashley [Cole] and Joleon [Lescott]'s brains on defenders.

"I think it would be fair to say that a lot of the clubs in Europe would be aware of Flo's qualities and if anything he has just got to keep proving it to himself.

"He is the only person he's got to impress and look himself in the mirror. He's got outstanding ability, attributes and work rate and he is a player that people look forward to seeing."
