Arsenal have enjoyed a dream season so far under Mikel Arteta - and the same can be said for one of their fledgling Hale End graduates, Folarin Balogun.
Balogun has not been a part of the Arsenal team that is bidding to end an agonising 19-year title drought, but that hasn't prevented him from enhancing his own burgeoning reputation across the channel with Reims.
After spending the second half of last season on loan in the Championship with Middlesbrough, the 21-year-old was challenged to "develop as a man" by Arteta, who admitted that the club should have arranged a loan move for the youngster before his temporary switch to Teeside last year.
