Folarin Balogun probably didn't envisage him to be the subject of intensifying interest from a host of top European clubs a year ago, but that's the exact scenario he finds himself in today.
Following a number of impressive displays on loan at Stade de Reims where he has become the joint Ligue 1 top scorer alongside Kylian Mbappe and Jonathan David with 15 goals, Balogun is now a wanted man ahead of the summer transfer window, casting some doubt over his Arsenal future.
Prior to his switch to France, Balogun struggled to stamp down a place in the Arsenal first-team and endured a tough loan spell at Middlesbrough last season, scoring just three goals in 21 appearances. Ready for a new challenge, Balogun previously spoke about the advice he had received from Emile Smith Rowe and Bukayo Saka before emphasising his desire to improve.
