This event may cause a real agency like Arsenal to think hard. After their forgotten star kicker overtook Kylian Mbappe to become the top scorer in Ligue 1 with a hat-trick last night. past
Arsenal loanee Folarin Balokan overtook Kylian Mbappe as Ligue 1 top scorerwith his incredible hat-trick as Reims beat Lori. Nantes went 4-2 last night. first team And he has proven that he can be the star of the UFABET team. His current record is 14 goals this season. That means he has so far scored more goals than Mbappe, Lionel Messi and Neymar.
Good luck to the top teams in north London. Balogun only moved to Reims on loan until the end of the season, while Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Jesus have both been key players in the Gunners this season. But no striker has scored as many goals as Balogun. William Saliba ‘s superb loan spells with Saint-Etienne, Nice and Marseille have proven that. The French league is a great platform for young talent to develop. The French central defender has been at the heart of the Gunners’ defense this season if he is given the chance and both the player and manager will be happy to give it another chance. Balogun could have the same effect on Mikel Arteta’s team next season.
Balogan scored just two goals in 10 games for the Gunners’ first team and failed to impress on loan at Middlesbrough last season. Arteta sent Balogun to Reims to grow as a player and there is no questioning his development. The striker, who has two-and-a-half years left on his Arsenal contract, will be confident of challenging Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah for a place in the starting line-up next season. And his hat-trick is yet another message to his employers of how talented he is right now.
“Before I moved Miguel said he wanted me to develop as a man,” Balogan told reporters in September last year. “It was like an open answer and for me to interpret what it means to develop as a man. but from moving abroad I started to learn what he meant ′ ′ It doesn’t mean only on the field. But also off the field. I think by the time I go back I’m going to be in a better place for the competition than when I left.”
Balokan elaborated on this during an interview with L’Equipe , where he said: “Arsenal is my family. For me, the club stands for brotherhood and unity. There I always learn to step up. cross your own limits I remember from training that there was always a desire to progress at a technical level.” He added: “I think by the time I go back I will be in a better place for the competition than when I left. I realized that there was something I had a problem with. But I think that’s a good thing. It helps you deal with things that are uncomfortable for you, which is important.”
In March , Arteta confirmed that Balogun has a big future at Arsenal. In which he said: “You can see how he has developed. This will give us more details on the best next step for him to improve on… We want him to be part of our future ′′ He needs to have a path to go through. He had to reveal himself, he had to go through good times and hard times. And he has to be able to adapt and find himself in the dressing room.
Balogun was seen chatting with Arsenal legend Thierry Henry. Ahead of Reims’ 1-1 draw with Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday night, January 29, 2023, the youngster scored a last-minute equalizer and replicated Henry’s signature celebration. after scoring
