Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to send a message to Folarin Balogun, using Emile Smith Rowe as an example.
As you may know, the 19-year-old striker is refusing to sign a new contract with the Gunners, and now looks likely to leave.
The Athletic recently revealed that the teenager is close to signing a pre-contract agreement with a foreign club, amid concerns over his playing time.
That is where Smith Rowe – who earns £20,000-a-week – comes into it.
A handful of the Emirates faithful on Twitter wanted to highlight the No.32’s hard work on his journey to earning first-team chances.
Smith Rowe has spent time on loan at RB Leipzig and Huddersfield already in his short career, knuckling down away from north London to better himself as a player.
That sort of application and dedication is seemingly what some Arsenal fans want to see in Balogun.
It would be a real shame for the Gunners to lose the forward.
Balogun already has two goals for the north Londoners in just 61 minutes of Europa League action, and he looks to be a fine talent.
However, not every player is the same.
Where Smith Rowe was happy to be patient and gain experience elsewhere, Balogun wants first-team football immediately, which he’s more than entitled to desire.
