Wasn’t he only behind neymar in goals scored?

Did anybody catch Folarin Balogun playing for Reims?

If so, how did he look? I heard he did quite well, but would be a little surprised if he went for 50m

Idk how he looked as I didn’t watch full Reims games, but 1. The French league sucks 2. Laca went back and netted over 20.

But given how young Folarin is and how quickly he adapted, I don’t think it’s a fluke for him. He has all the tools to be a solid #9. We should be looking to get at least 40m for him.

Those are some fair points. I would definitely want us to get a decent fee for him.

Just feels odd that we could potentially get a decent fee for a player considering our player sales in the past xD
