Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun has shed light on the role played by Alexandre Lacazette in convincing him to move on loan to Reims.
Balogun made his Premier League debut at the start of last season, starting against Brentford in a 2-0 defeat. That was one of just four appearances he made for the first team, though, and he ended the 2021-22 campaign on loan at Middlesbrough in the Championship.
Since moving to Reims as a replacement for PSG-bound Hugo Ekitike, Balogun has been in fine goalscoring form with five in his first six appearances. And the 21-year-old, who also made his England under-21 debut in 2021, has opened up on the advice offered by former teammate Lacazette.
