Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun's decision to join Ligue 1 outfit Reims on a season-long loan deal is looking like a masterstroke with each passing week.
Whilst spending the second half of last season in the Championship with Middlesbrough - helping to knock Tottenham out of the FA Cup along the way - was good for the youngster to get a regular taste of first-team mfootball, moving abroad this year is going to help him 'develop as a man'.
And it's Balogun's choice to leave London altogether and head to France which has impressed none other than Arsenal legend Thierry Henry: "Normally players are loaned either to another Premier League side or in the Championship," he told Prime Video Sport France last month.
