Former Arsenal striker Kevin Campbell has advised Folarin Balogun to leave on loan.
After starting the opening Premier League game, Balogun has spent most of this season in the U23s.
And Campbell thinks he would be better served plying his trade against men.
"Balogun needs to go out on loan and get some football", Campbell told Football Insider. "He needs to learn his trade.
"Under-23s football is just too easy for him at the moment. He needs to go into the trenches. That is the only way he will learn about his game.
"When you play against the defenders in the lower leagues, they have mortgages and families to look after. It's serious. Whereas it is all hunky-dory in the Under-23s.
"I'm he will go out and get that experience next year. Then he will realise his standard."
