Reims striker Folarin Balogun unsure about Arsenal return

Reims striker Folarin Balogun is unsure about a return to parent club Arsenal.

Balogun has made an excellent start to his time in northern France, scoring seven goals in 12 games to lie joint fifth in Ligue 1's top scorers' list, behind the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Neymar of Paris St-Germain.

While he has become a fans' favourite and supporters are keen for him to remain at Stade Auguste-Delaune beyond this season, Balogun is only focussing on his progress.

"I remember before I came here, I had a lot of advice telling me that this would be a good league for me to develop," the 21-year-old told BBC Sport.

"Now that I am here, I'm seeing the benefits of this league and I'm happy that I can help the team.

"You never know what the future might hold. I just try to focus on what I'm doing with the team and focus on the season."
