Folarin Jerry Balogun
Folarin Jerry Balogun hunts space behind the line as a forward. Balogun broke into Arsenal's first team in 2020/21 after starring in Premier League 2. He learned to time runs. The 2022/23 loan at Reims yielded 21 goals in 37 games, honing his finishing. In 2023 Balogun joined Monaco and pledged US allegiance, helping the US win the Nations League. At Monaco Balogun attacks space, pins centre-backs and links play with quick layoffs. He presses high and finishes moves from the shoulder of the last defender. Balogun thrives on sharp, instinctive runs.
