With 15 goals in 23 matches, Balogun sits tied in first place in the Ligue 1 scoring charts alongside Lille’s Jonathan David and Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappe. The reports reveal that several comments under Balogun’s latest posts on Twitter include emojis of the United States flag, as well as pleas for him to make the switch back to his home country ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
He told The Action Network’s Wondergoal Podcast, “If we get Folarin Balogun we solve a lot of problems. I’m impressed with everything about him. The power that he has, the timing of his runs.” “We have to appeal to his ego, which is the reality of this. We should let him know that he will be a star. An absolute star at a World Cup, in his own country as he was born in New York.”
