Henry told CBS Sports, “I think it’s a great one [coup] because they [USA]are missing a number 9. He must play next season.

“We all know he had to battle Callum Wilson, [Ivan] Toney, Ollie Watkins, Tammy Abraham, Harry Kane for the England national team.

“He’s a fantastic US player.”

Balogun was born in the US but raised in England and eligible for Nigeria.
