Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun has been fantastic whilst out on loan this season. The England youth international was sent to Ligue 1 after Eddie Nketiah reached an agreement over a new bumper contract and the club signed Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City.
Despite perhaps some disappointment that after renewing his deal just a year earlier, where the opportunity for more senior action at Arsenal then wasn’t immediately available, Folarin Balogun has taken his loan at Reims in his stride. He currently has 10 goals in the league - the joint-third highest behind only PSG pair Neymar (11) and Kylian Mbappe (13).
With the Gunners on the lookout for forwards during the January window after the injury to Jesus, some have suggested that recalling Balogun could be a solution. Whilst there are no signs of that being something the club are considering at this moment, the player has returned to London Colney in what football.london understands to be a regularity for the club’s loan players and not an indication of a recall.
