Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has suggested that it may be time for Folarin Balogun to seek a move away from the club.

The center forward, who has declared for the USA at international level, has enjoyed a loan spell at Reims in Ligue 1 this term.

With Arsenal having Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah, Balogun may find he has a tough route to a first team spot.

Speaking on CBS Sports, Henry said: "For him next year, it is important that he plays.

I don't know if he will play for Arsenal, With England, he had to battle with Callum Wilson, Ivan Toney, Ollie Watkins, Tammy Abraham, Harry Kane.

"He is a great player for USA as they are missing that No.9. He has been great in France, now he has to find a team where he will play next year."
