Folarin Balogun: Arsenal loan striker to Middlesbrough for rest of season

Arsenal have loaned England Under-21s striker Folarin Balogun to Championship side Middlesbrough until the end of the season.

The 20-year-old has two goals in 10 first-team games for the Gunners since joining the club's academy in 2012.

He made his debut against Dundalk in the Europa League in October 2020, and his first goal came against Molde in the same competition that December.

"We're delighted to get Flo in," Boro boss Chris Wilder said.

"He's a player I've known about for a long time and we identified him as someone who could come in and improve us in the second half of the season.
