Arsenal confirm Balogun joins Middlesbrough on loan

At the age of just 20, Folarin Balogun is one of the most promising youngsters in the Arsenal academy although he had already made his first team debut: he has played on six occasions and he has scored three goals. 

Now, the Gunners want the striker to keep on developing and progressing at another club. That is why they have loaned him out to Championship side Middlesbrough. 

It will be the first time that Balogun wears a kit which is not Arsenal's. At the age of 15, he made his debut for the Under 18s and since then, he has not stopped going up the age categories. 

Now, at Middlesbrough, the attacker will look to get his new club promoted to the Premier League. Currently, they are seventh in the Championship, just one point off the play-off places.
