Balogun Ready For New Challenge

Folarin Balogun is bracing himself up for a new challenge as his January loan move from Arsenal gets closer.

The England 21 hitman who is being targeted by Nigeria plans to use a regular taste of senior football in the English Championship to further his football education.

And in a recent interview with the Daily Mirror, monitored by Megasportsarena.com, he explained why Under-23s football can not give him all he needs right now.

“I feel like I am ready for a new challenge,” he said.

“I feel like I have played youth football for a while. I’ve scored goals at that level and improved at that level drastically compared to now. At “he same time I am not sure what that challenge might be.

“It might be a loan, or if I am needed at Arsenal I am here and the gaffer knows that as well.

“I feel like I am definitely open to a new challenge, wherever it is I will be ready.

“As a striker and as a young player you need minutes. It is the best way to learn and get consistency.

“Whatever the plan is I’m going to give it 100 per cent and believe it will work out.” December 06, 2021 at 04:19PM
