Folarin Balogun's game time was extremely limited during Arsenal's preseason ahead of the 2022/2023 campaign that is set to get underway on Friday. Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah are currently Mike Arteta's preferred striker duo going into the competitive fixtures.
With Balogun unlikely to find himself getting a consistent run of games in the new season, it would be best for all parties if he can find a suitable loan move. That seems to be the direction after he was left out of Arsenal's most recent squad in the Emirates Cup fixture against Sevilla.
Ligue 1 could be Balogun's next destination as Reims confirmed their interest in signing the youngster. It is crucial that the striker is guaranteed first-team minutes in the next club he moves to on loan.
