A number of Arsenal fans have responded to Folarin Balogun’s message on Twitter, hoping the Hale End prodigy was dropping a hint about his future at the Emirates Stadium.

The 19-year-old, one of the brightest youngsters to come through the Gunners academy in recent years, has been in and around the first team this season.

Balogun has made five competitive appearances for the Arsenal first team this season – four in the Europa League and one in the League Cup.

He is yet to feature in the Premier League, however, with the bulk of his football this term coming in age competitions like Premier League 2 and the EFL Trophy.

His contract is set to expire in the summer and with the January window now open, he can speak to non-English clubs about signing a pre-contract ahead of a summer move.

However, Mikel Arteta told reporters in December that Balogun said to him “he wants to stay at the club so hopefully we can reach an agreement and extend his contract.”

On Tuesday, Balogun posted a highlights reel on his personal Twitter account, along with the caption “2021 I’m coming”.

Is Balogun in line for more game time this season? And more importantly, is he going to pen a new deal at the Emirates?

Here is what some Arsenal fans made of his post:
