Folarin Balogun is subject to interest from five foreign clubs after his breakaway season in France.
The young striker is expected to leave Arsenal this summer to move on to regular football, having played with Ligue 1 side Reims.
In his first loan spell, Balogun scored 21 league goals to finish as the fourth highest scorer in France’s top division.
New York native, Balogun also ended the season by cementing his international future by becoming a senior international for the USA, scoring his first goal against Canada last month.
Arsenal have now put a £50 million price tag on the rising star as they look to recoup some cash from their own transfer fees this summer, while his form has attracted a number of clubs.

Italian giants AC Milan and Inter Milan, French clubs Marseille and Monaco and Germany’s RB Leipzig have all expressed interest in the 22-year-old.
Although he also has admirers in England, a move to a foreign club is currently considered more likely.
Balogun, who has two years left on his current contract with the Emirates, has made 10 appearances for the club since graduating from the academy.
He scored twice for his parent club and both will play in the Europa League in 2020.
