Folarin Balogun knows he must fight to claim his starting spot in the USMNT after he chose to play for his country of birth, snubbing England and Nigeria in the process.
The 21-year-old, who has 19 goals in 34 Ligue 1 matches for Reims while on loan from Arsenal this season, had been on the US Soccer Federation's radar for quite some time after representing the Stars and Stripes at youth level.
And now that the striker's switched allegiance from the Three Lions, for who he played for at U-21 level, his agent, Eddie Bonsu, said that the Brooklynite will not get ahead of himself when he finally joins up with the USMNT.
