LIFE ON LOAN | Folarin Balogun

Our on-loan striker has excelled since joining Stade de Reims - and earlier in March, he became the youngest player to score at least 16 Ligue 1 goals in his first season for more than 60 years.
We travelled to Reims recently to catch up with Folarin, find out how he's adjusted to life in France and to reflect on what's been a special campaign to date.

Balo, I know you wont see this, but trust me, every one of us fans are proud of you man. We are proud to say you're one of our own, one of the hale end boys. You're doing so well man, so, so well and I know you'll make it here. Keep going. Your top in Ligue one. Your on the same level as Mbappe this year. MBAPPE. Thats how good you've been and how good you are. We'll see you next season when we are prem holders and you'll be welcomed into the first team with open arms.

@The Truth Ronaldo also only won things in stacked teams. Pele with Brazil, Messi with Barcelona etc, etc. I'd be careful with that argument. Mbappe was a huge part of France making it to the last final.. He scored a hat trick in the final. On pace alone, Balogun is nowhere near Mbappe. It's a dumb comparison

@Mellowado Mbappe while he is great, is playing for one of the most stacked national teams in the entire world, even a not the full strength France team made the most recent World Cup final.

If he succeeds in League 1, he will only come back stronger and with more hunger and desire to prove himself in the Prem and Champions League. Excited for the future. COYG 💪

You cannot have a player that has almost scored 20 goals in a top 5 league and not give him even half a season chance. This is what other teams pay 60m for and we have it for free. He has earned a chance to be in the first team next season.

@S&D Productions literally makes no sense to compare their situations. Laca is an experienced international who has already adapted to the French league as well as being the club captain, of course he was always gonna score goals in France. Balo is 21 and had to adapt to a new league playing senior football at a top league for the first time in his career and has almost 20 goals. People questioned if Saliba was ready to play in the Prem and look at him now. Doesn’t mean he’s gonna start every game but he has to at least be in the squad and given a chance to prove himself.

Balogun's, somewhat, unexpected meteoric rise, makes you appreciate the unknown all youngsters go through when they go out on loan, especially, abroad, and how a career will rise or fall based on if you take your chance or not. Balogun not only took his chance, but he ran with it to a place not even he himself could even dream would happen. Talk about exceeding expectations, and I always thought he had the talent to challenge for a spot at Arsenal, but to be among the top goalscorers in France while playing for Reims, is a fairy tale season so far. I'm just happy to see another Hale End boy making us proud and showing the world what he's all about.

They gave him 40000 week contract so he is obviously rated but first team in PL title challengers is diff level esp as we need to actually push on. We all hoping he can make it but maybe selling with buyback clause would be solution? Or contract extension and loan with fee to bigger club? They can assess him and Eddie in summer as Jesus obviously still star 9

It's good to see that Balogun is making a progress in France. However, I'm not sure if he will have his spot at Arsenal in the next season. In his position, there are Jesus, Trossard, and Nketiah. With already 3 players who can play at the top, it is not likely that Balogun will be given much playing time. Although I hope he can be a successful one at Arsenal, if we have to sell him to strengthen the squad and meet financial fair play regulation, selling him is inevitable. But, we definitely need to get at least 40 million pounds for him if we are to sell him. Less than that, tell the other teams to get lost.
