Arsenal loanee Folarin Balogun rubbishes theory as Mikel Arteta has decision to make

Folarin Balogun has dismissed the narrative about Ligue 1 being a sub-par league as the Arsenal loanee continues to thrive.

The striker has headed to Reims for the season and has been prolific, scoring 16 times for the side who currently have the longest unbeaten run in Europe's top five leagues. The French top flight has copped criticism over the past decade for its perceived lack of quality.

PSG, backed by their wealthy owners, have won the league eight times over the past decade to underline their dominance. No French side has won a major European trophy in that period either, but Balogun maintains that critique of Ligue 1 is off the mark having now played in it.
