Arsenal legend, Thierry Henry has hailed the decision by Folarin Balogun to play for the United States of America his country of birth.
Balogun snubbed his country of descent Nigeria and England where he was bred for America where he was given birth to.
Balogun is eligible to play for any of these three countries but he has now opted for United States of America.
Henry pointed out that the 21-year-old had little chance of playing for England, a team that has the likes of Harry Kane, Callum Wilson, [Ivan] Toney, Ollie Watkins and Tammy Abraham.
Henry told CBS Sports, “I think it’s a great one [coup] because they [USA]are missing a number 9. Now for him it’s going to be important next season to play.
“We all know for the national team with England he had to battle with Callum Wilson, [Ivan] Toney, Ollie Watkins, Tammy Abraham, Harry Kane.
“He’s a great, great, great player for the US.”
