If there is one person this Ligue 1 campaign is becoming a great sensation Folarin Balogun. The battering ram Reims Stadium It has been a gold mine for his team’s interest, which has netted 19 goals so far in the championship. The French attacker’s staggering tally of goals in his first season in the French league is matched by very few players. Only Zlatan Ibrahimovic has scored more goals than Balogun in his first year in Ligue 1, scoring 30 with PSG in the 12/13 season.
The forward of the French team was the author of the only goal scored by his team in the defeat against Lens in the last game of the league (2-1). with that target, Balogun fifth place in the coveted ranking of top scorers in the domestic championship with 19 points. Ahead of him were Mbappé (26), Lacazette (25), Jonathan David (21) and Habib Diallo (20).
The figures of the former ‘gunner’ are frightening, and it is that there is only one precedent in the current century of a better debut in the French tournament, achieved by the iconic Ibrahimovic. The nine, who had just joined PSG at the time, achieved a devastating number in front of goal, hitting the net up to 30 times to offer the league title to the Paris fans.
Despite not being on the podium of the top scorers, the fact is that Folarin has exploded as a potential ‘killer’ and could end the season with record numbers. It should be remembered that the fashionable player in France is to Arsenal, who decided to transfer him at the beginning of this course to Reims Stadiumwhere it found its natural habitat.
Apparently, the ‘gunner’ team has no intention of playing the star of the northern team at the moment, so they can deduct the hypothetical sale. However, there is still no firm decision on the part of the British squad, which may change its mind seeing the excellent season its youth squad is shaping up to have. Despite this, there will be no shortage of offers for the striker from the Reims team, who are very interested in the same Milan about Inter Milan.
