Former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry has praised Folarin Balogun for joining Reims in the offseason.
The 21-year-old moved to the Ligue 1 club on loan for the 2022/23 season.
Balogun has scored five goals in six appearances for Reims, and Henry has been impressed with his form.
"I'm really happy for him because in general English players don't go abroad -- normally players are loaned either to another Premier League side or in the Championship," Henry told Amazon Prime Video Sport. "He's a very English-style player who likes to run down the channels but he was missing something, which was his finishing.
"He's now starting to score goals regularly and I'm happy for that -- happy he has gone abroad. It's especially so considering he is a Londoner, in general Londoners struggle to leave London. When I heard he was coming to France, it made me think he has a refreshing mindset."
