According to Football.London, Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun was at the Emirates Stadium last night.
Arsenal suffered a 1-0 defeat to Everton at the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League on Friday evening.
Balogun was not in the matchday squad, but, according to Football.London, the 19-year-old striker was cooling down with the rest of the Arsenal players after the game at the Emirates Stadium.
Strange decision from Mikel Arteta?
Balogun is fit and available, and it was a strange decision from Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta not to include him in the matchday squad.
After all, senior strikers Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette both were unavailable, with Eddie Nketiah starting.
Balogun is only 19 and lacks experience in the first team, but the striker will only learn if he gets chances.
It would have made sense for the teenager to be at least in the matchday squad against Everton, and it would have boosted his confidence.
Balogun is out of contract at Arsenal at the end of the season, but Arteta has told Sky Sports that the striker will sign a new deal.
