Arsenal continues to seek a prolific striker, but former player Gilles Grimandi is skeptical about Folarin Balogun's potential return to the club. Grimandi, a two-time Premier League champion, expressed his views while speaking on behalf of talkSPORT Bet Online Slots. He stated, 'He's a good player, he's a good player in Ligue 1. I don’t think he can go back to Arsenal. It's quite complicated; they already have Kai Havertz and Viktor Gyokeres.'

Grimandi highlighted the difficulty even top players face in performing at Arsenal, suggesting Balogun may not offer more than the current options available to manager Mikel Arteta. He praised Balogun's abilities, noting, 'He did well last season, he played good football, he can take the space, he has a good technique.' However, Grimandi remains unconvinced that Balogun would enhance the squad under present conditions.
When asked about Balogun's prospects in the Premier League, particularly in relation to Everton, Grimandi indicated it could be a good fit: 'Maybe. I think it will be a good choice for Everton to get this guy. I think he can play in the Premier League, of course, but the level of Arsenal is so high at this time that I’m not sure that he will help the team to get what they want to get.'
