Folarin Balogun was a success during his time with Arsenal’s U23 side, recording 37 goals and 10 assists to his name in 62 games. Ian Wright couldn’t help but shower praise on the striker for his output with the Gunners junior side.
Wright said on ITV, transcribed by Football.London:
Despite breaking into Arsenal’s senior team, Mikel Arteta decided to send Balogun on loan this winter to gain more experience. Ian Wright believes it was the right move, noting that the youngster still has a lot to learn to be ready for first-team action.
He continued:
What next for Arsenal?
Following their goalless draw with Brighton in the Premier League last time out, the Gunners will resume their league outing with a clash with Wolves next week on Thursday. Mikel Arteta’s men are supposed to face Chelsea in their next fixture but the game has been suspended. That is because the Blues are scheduled to play the Carabao Cup final on the same weekend.
They’ll take on Brentford instead after playing against Wolves as they wait to learn of the new schedule for their clash with Chelsea. It remains to be seen how they’ll fare in the encounters.
