Folarin Balogun

Folarin Balogun is an American forward who plays for AS Monaco in Ligue 1. After rising through Arsenal's academy, he established himself as a prolific scorer in France before committing internationally to the United States.

Balogun progressed through Arsenal's youth system and made a handful of senior appearances before embarking on loan spells that showcased his goalscoring ability. A highly productive season at Stade de Reims — where he scored 21 goals in 37 appearances — earned him a permanent move to AS Monaco in 2023, where he has continued to score consistently.

He chose to represent the United States at senior level and has accumulated 27 caps and 9 goals, including strikes in the CONCACAF Nations League Final against Canada and at the 2024 Copa América.
