Arsenal on-loan striker, Folarin Balogun has stunned Europe with mid-table team Reims this season, scoring league more goals than Neymar, Mbappe, and Messi.

A Gunner for hire that has been adored and loved by the Reims faithful, making them break the golden rule of never falling in love with a loan player.

A first ever hat-trick means Mbappe and Neymar are no longer looking over their shoulders as he has overtaken them in the title race.

Almost as fast as a Ferrari and as accurate as a calibrated tape, Folarin who promised Pepe 10 goals when moving from North London to Northern France has already scored 14 goals.

The 21-year-old has not only become the current top scorer in the Ligue 1 but has now stretched his lead at the top as the highest scoring Under 21 in Europe.

A penalty kick, a poachers goal and a Kylian Mbappe-esque volley helped Reims come back from two goals down to defeat Lorient 4-2 at the Stade Auguste-Delaune II on Wednesday.
