Arsenal has no plan to recall Balogun from loan spell

Arsenal has no plan to recall Nigerian-born forward Folarin Balogun from Reims in January.

Balogun moved to the Ligue 1 side on a season-long loan deal in the summer.

There are reports that Arsenal is planning to recall Balogun following Gabriel Jesus’ injury.

Transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, however, stated that Arsenal does not intend to bring Balogun back to North London next month.

The forward is expected to remain in France for the remainder of the current campaign.

The 21-year-old has scored eight goals and provided two assists in 15 league appearances for Reims this season.

Balogun is eligible to represent Nigeria, England and Canada at the international level.
