Six-time French champions could be priced out of a move for Arsenal striker of Nigerian descent
Published: October 04, 2022French club Stade de Reims could be priced out of a move for Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun, according to reports.
It has been claimed that Reims want to turn Balogun's loan deal into a permanent one following his fine start to life in the Ligue 1.
The England U21 international of Nigerian descent arrived at Reims in August, with no option to buy and recall clause included in the deal taking him to the six-time French champions.
Goal.com reporter Robin Bairner has suggested that Balogun's hypothetical transfer to Reims is not going to materialize as they cannot afford him, considering that their record acquisitions Junya Ito and Jens Cajuste cost ten million euros each.
Only Paris Saint Germain duo Neymar and Kylian Mbappe who are on eight goals have scored more than Balogun in the French top-flight so far this season.
If Balogun keep firing on all cylinders, he will put himself in a strong position to push for a first team role at Arsenal next season.
