Folarin Balogun is enjoying Ligue 1! The Anglo-American striker arrived at Stade de Reims last summer on loan from Arsenal. For his first competition in France, the young 21-year-old faced Olympique de Marseille, and he was able to detect the Olympian spirit and the noisy orange velodrome. Despite his defeat (4-1)Fowler’s Balogun was a scorer during the encounter and he did not expect such an environment. “The atmosphere in Marseille really surprised me! It was my first match here, I didn’t know what to expect. The Vélodrome was something, there were more than 60,000 spectators, some of them a little hostile… It surprised me because Marseille is such a big football city. I don’t know. I was showered right away!“, Explained Remois for the site LFP. After 14 Ligue 1 days, Fowler’s Balogan has already found the net 8 times. He is currently the Championship’s 3rd top scorer, a very impressive statistic for a 21-year-old Anglo-American striker making his debut season in France.
