In the excitement of Friday's (30th) dawn, a Ligue 1 fixture took place at the home of Reims, which ended in a 3-1 victory over Rennes. The focal point of the match was undoubtedly England striker Balogun, the 21-year-old on loan from Arsenal, who achieved a
score twice in a row
The player has amassed 10 goals in Ligue 1 this season, second only to Kylian Mbappe's 13 and Neymar's 11, and with news that Arsenal are considering an early recall in January, he could be a secret weapon for the "Arsenal".
Despite the limited strength of Reims, Balogun is still shining on the pitch. With this win against Rennes, Reims have scored 19 goals in 16 league games, 10 of which have been scored by Balogun, who has scored the most goals of any player aged 21 or under in Europe's top five leagues this season, according to Opta, and whose potential should not be underestimated.
Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesse suffered a serious injury during the World Cup and is expected to need to add to his attack in January. There are reports that Balogun's contract contains an early recall clause, so if Arsenal are unable to find the ideal candidate in the transfer market, an early recall of Balogun cannot be ruled out.
