Folarin Balogun scored his 20th goal of the Ligue 1 season for Reims in their 2-2 draw against Angers on Sunday.
In doing so, the Arsenal loanee became the first U-21 player to have scored 20+ goals in Europe’s top-5 leagues.
He also became the first American player in football history to have scored 20 or more goals in a single season in a Europe top-5 league.
Balogun has two more games to increase his tally before ending his loan spell at Reims.
However, Arsenal are reportedly looking to sell him in the summer and generate some decent funds from his sale.
The majority of the Gooners on Twitter seem to be strictly against that, as they reacted to his latest achievement.
SteveAFC: “Selling him would be madness. But he’s got the club over a barrel with his contract running out. No reason why he wouldn’t get serious game time for Arsenal next season especially with Jesus’s injury record. Arteta and Edu need to get him to sign a new deal. Whatever the cost.”
Nathaniel: “A priority for the squad is to play a lad like him. Manager must have him in his plans for next year.”
Ogi: “I get that the PL is much better than Ligue 1, but this is a player who deserves to fight for spot at Arsenal.”
MUN: “Generational, He might be our next Saliba.”
