“Folarin Balogun has joined Ligue 1 side Stade de Reims on a season-long loan.
“The 21-year-old forward joined our academy in 2012 aged 10 and showcased an impressive goalscoring record throughout youth football.
“The 2020/21 season saw Flo make his first-team debut, as well as signing a long-term contract with the club.
