Arsenal youngster Folarin Balogun leads Kylian Mbappe in highest goals after hat-trick for Reims

Folarin Balogun, an Arsenal player currently on loan at Reims, leads the Ligue 1 goal scoring chat.

The young footballer was sent to Reims on loan to continue his growth and get more playing time.

According to Reportminds Blog, Balogun scored just three goals in 18 games last season for Middlesbrough. He was sent on a second loan deal when he came back to Arsenal in the summer.

Given how well he played at Reims, it wouldn't be surprising if he came back to Arsenal soon.

Folarin Balogun played for Reims once more last night when they played Lorient. He scored three goals and won the game for them on his own.

In the first 36 minutes, Reims was down two goals before Balogun converted a penalty kick. In the 51st minute, Doumbia brought Reims level.

However, Balogun scored two quick goals in the second half to complete his hat trick and win the game for Reims. He now holds the record for most goals scored in Ligue 1, surpassing Mbappe.
