Will he return to Arsenal?

While Balogun cleared the air regarding his international career, the domestic one is still unclear. The young starlet is currently playing with Reims on loan from Premier League giants Arsenal. The forward has made strides in the French league after he once crossed Messi and Mbappe in the top-scorer race.

So far, he has scored 20 goals for the Ligue 1 outfit and continues to shine on the pitch. However, his loan spell will end, and he has the option to return to Arsenal. If he returns to Arsenal, then he may be willing to fight for his place against the likes of Gabriel Jesus, Eddie Nketiah, and Leandro Trossard. Moreover, he has also been drawing interest across Europe. It remains to be seen where he plays next season.
