BALOGUN was loaned out to Middlesbrough for the second half of last season, where he scored three goals and provided as many assists in 18 games. In the 2021-22 season, the England Under-21 international made two Premier League appearances, scoring two goals and providing an assist in five Europa League games as a substitute for Arsenal.
Nuno Tavares left the club to join Marseille on a season-long loan and the Gunners are hoping the Portuguese centre-back will learn from Willian Saliba's time in Ligue 1. Arsenal want BALOGUN to leave the club on loan this summer in search of football regular to continue his development as a forward, with a move to Reims now increasingly likely.
Reports on Sunday afternoon suggest the Gunners are divided over whether another loan deal is the best thing for BALOGUN or whether he should remain in the first team this season. However, Reims is now "closer" to a loan deal to sign the English forward from Arsenal, according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano.

A loan is due to be agreed until June 2023, with BALOGUN receiving offers from Premier League clubs and opting for a move to Ligue 1. A medical check-up is due earlier this week while players await final details. two clubs.

Reims lost French talent Hugo Ekitike to Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain earlier this summer after the Gunners were also linked with a switch to the 20-year-old striker before signing with Manchester City Gabriel Jesus.
