Shades of Adebayor celebrating on his own after Walcott carried the ball across the length of the pitch to set him up for his tap-in.



Hate to see it. Not a good sign for them.

Lovely touch by Balogun.

Needs to get a few goals though, that’s what we need from him.

Balogun is a WF not a number 9. Which is a shame, cos he's not as good as saka or martinelli and we will need cover at 9 even if we sign a first choice striker in the summer. Not sure where he fits other than as cover for Saka and Martinelli (competing with ESR and Pepe).

Can't wait to see him next season. Then Omari goes on loan to return season after.

I have to wonder if Edu and Arteta are moving toward a false 9 set up? Would be good to have a big banger brought in .

Nah, send him to Marseille. Chambers was POTY at Fulham a couple of years ago and where did that get him?

According to L'équipe, Balogun is close to joining Ligue 1 side Reims on a season-long loan. No option to buy. Medical on Monday.
