    Despite previous speculation linking the 21-year-old with a permanent move to France, there is no option to buy clause in the contract.
    The Gunners still believe that Balogun will have a huge future at the club.
    A statement read: “Everyone at Arsenal wishes Flo all the best this coming season with Stade de Reims.
    “The loan deal is subject to the completion of regulatory processes.”

    Balogun is a graduate of Arsenal’s world renowned Hale End Academy.
    He made his first team debut in November 2020, five months before signing a long-term contract with the club.
    The striker spent the second half of last season on loan with Middlesbrough in the Championship, where he scored three goals and assisted three in 18 league appearances.
    He also helped Boro to the FA Cup quarter-finals, defeating the likes of Tottenham and Manchester United along the way.

    Arsenal will look to axe EIGHT flops including record transfer Nicolas Pepe to help fund Mikel Arteta’s summer spree

    THERE is positivity in the air ahead of the new season, that’s for sure. The exciting new additions and an instant chemistry between Gabriel Jesus and his team-mates has got Arsenal fans relishing the curtain-raiser.

    But there is also some concern at the number of players not part of Mikel Arteta’s plans still at the club.
    And some of those who are surplus to requirements will need to be shipped out before further additions come in.
    Frustratingly, to myself and many other Gunners fans, these individuals were taken on the pre-season tour, which deprived us of the chance to see more Hale Enders impress.
    So, who are the misfits Arsenal should shift before the transfer window closes to fund and make room for the desired central midfielder and another winger?

    Nicolas Pepe
    The Ivorian has been a constant frustration to Arteta and he is certainly one who has been given chances to adapt to the way his coach wants him to play.
    Pepe has amazing skills and an eye for goal, but his link play, work rate and speed of thought are simply not in tune with the rest of theteam.
    His plus points are far outweighed by his minuses, and as revealed by SunSport, the club will have to sell him at a huge loss, if they can find a buyer.
    His wages may well prove a sticking point and I can see a loanwith Arsenal having to fund some of his exorbitant salary, sadly.

    Hector Bellerin
    I think most fans see Bellerin as one of our own. His length of service, loyalty and inherited cockney twang will see him leave with all our blessing but leave he must.
    The current right-back we have on our books is not the same one who lifted three FA Cups because he lost the devastating turn of pace which made him the player he was at his fabulous best.
    I hope Betis can raise the funds to buy him after his successful loan there in 2021-22.

    Pablo Mari
    Arteta has to take this one on the chin as the Spaniard wanted his compatriot.
    The manager obviously wanted a left-footed centre-back but Gabriel is far superior to Mari.
    Mari is good enough in the air and his distribution more than adequate, but his lack of pace has been consistently exposed in the Premier League.
    The Spaniard seems far more suited to Serie A where he spent last season with Udinese.
    Ainsley Maitland-Niles
    The irony of his manager now buying versatility players on purpose, when the popular Englishman seemed to be a victim of that attribute, will not be lost on AMN.
    Neither loan at West Brom or Roma have led to anything and a team that buys him will first have to promise him a midfield role I suspect.
    The arrival of Albert Sambi Lokonga and the contract renewal of Mohamed Elneny will severely limit game time for this frustrated player.
    But as a homegrown player with undoubted ability, I hope a mid-table Premier League side might bid for him.
    Lucas Torreira
    After two successful loans in Spain and Italy, it is surprising to me that the tenacious midfielder has so few suitors.
    There seems no way back for him under Arteta, who I sense sees the Uruguayan as simply not physical enough for the anchor role and also mistrusts his passing accuracy.
    The player and his agent are both on record saying the player never truly settled in London so I hope we can get a reasonable bid for this popular squad member.

    Reiss Nelson
    Nelson has never truly kicked on despite his obvious talent and flair – another one Arteta has never truly trusted.
    I am sure that once the winger finds a home where he is loved and played consistently his career will reignite… but it will not be at Arsenal.
    The club will have watched him last season in the Dutch top-flight and had they been impressed they would not have purchased Marquinhos and bid for Raphinha.
    Alex Runarsson
    With the arrival of Matt Turner and the rise of Arthur Okonkwo, Arsenal need to simply rip up the Icelandic keeper’s contract and put it down as a reckless risk that failed to pay off.
    Matt Smith
    Despite having more medals than Harry Kane, it is time for this talented midfielder to be sold so he can flourish.
    Read More on The Sun
    Smith is 22 soon and he deserves to be playing regularly.
    He was virtually ever-present for Doncaster last season in League One, but I would hope a Championship side will gamble on him. More

    Arsenal’s incredible strength in depth this season revealed with ‘world class’ back-ups in each position

    ARSENAL have much improved strength in depth going into this season.Gunners chiefs have handed boss Mikel Arteta hundreds of millions of pounds to rip up his squad and start again since succeeding Unai Emery.

    Arsenal have spent a fortune on new recruitsCredit: Getty
    With a net spend totalling an eye-watering £380million since the summer of 2019, the North Londoners are desperate to get back to challenging at the top end of the Premier League.
    Arsenal fell at the final hurdle last season, losing six of their last 12 matches to botch finishing in the top four.
    But there will be no excuses this term, given the greater depth Arteta now has to call upon.
    The Gunners have nearly three players for each position – nearly all of whom were signed by the Spaniard.

    Arsenal have blown teams away in pre-season, including a 4-0 shellacking of rivals Chelsea.
    So as they prepare to go into Friday night’s opener at Crystal Palace, let’s take a look at their depth chart in more detail.
    GOALKEEPERS
    Aaron Ramsdale will start the season as Arsenal’s undisputed No1 goalkeeper, particularly after the sale of Bernd Leno to Fulham.
    The England international will hope to keep developing as the Gunners aim to improve in the Premier League.
    Most read in Football

    Given Arsenal’s return to Europa League action, there may well be minutes for new American back-up stopper Matt Turner.
    While forgotten man Runar Alex Runarsson is back after a loan spell at OH Leuven.
    DEFENDERS
    When fit Takehiro Tomiyasu impressed immensely at right-back during his debut campaign in North London.
    Cedric Soares deputised for the Japan international last term, while Hector Bellerin is back after his loan at Real Betis, at least for now.
    Kieran Tierney was excellent at left-back but like Tomiyasu suffers from numerous injury issues.
    Oleksandr Zinchenko’s addition will keep Arsenal covered, while Ainsley Maitland-Niles could also fill in.
    Ben White and Gabriel Magalhaes will now receive much greater competition at centre-back with William Saliba finally set to be given a chance – while Rob Holding and Pablo Mari are still at the club as back-ups.
    MIDFIELDERS
    Thomas Partey and Granit Xhaka were Arteta’s first choice pairing last season.
    Mohamed Elneny penned a new contract to stick around, while Arsenal will hope for further development from youngster Albert Sambi Lokonga.
    Zinchenko offers an intriguing option, regularly playing in midfield for Ukraine – while Maitland-Niles could also do a job.
    New skipper Martin Odegaard is set to begin the campaign as Arsenal’s creator-in-chief in the No10 position.
    While new signing Fabio Vieira and academy graduate Emile Smith Rowe will also challenge for a starting position.
    FORWARDS
    Gabriel Jesus has been on fire in pre-season since arriving from Manchester City and offers Arsenal fans genuine hope that they have finally found a prolific No9 to replace Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
    Alexandre Lacazette has departed, although the Gunners were able to retain Eddie Nketiah on a new £100,000-a-week contract.
    Bukayo Saka will hope to take another leap on the right flank as he enters the final two years of his contract – while he will be backed up by £72m man Nicolas Pepe and the returning Reiss Nelson.

    It was chief photographer and lifelong fan Stuart MacFarlane who delivered the team talk for the North London derby against Tottenham…and the Gunners went on to win 3-1.
    His inspirational talk was filmed by Amazon Prime cameras and is part of the upcoming All Or Nothing series.

    Who is Stuart MacFarlane and how long has he worked for Arsenal?
    MacFarlane has been snapping Arsenal since 1991, and become a full-time staff photographer with the club in 2001.
    He also supplied pictures for the ‘Invincibles’ book on Arsene Wenger released in 2014.
    MacFarlane spoke of his highs and lows covering the Gunners: “The highs and lows are all linked to the success for the football club.
    “So winning the league in 2002 and 2004, the FA Cup in 2002, 2003, 2005, 2014 and 2015 were brilliant times.
    “And the only real low is losing in the final of the Champions League in 2006.”

    MacFarlane looked at the players and said: “This is my club. I f*****g love this football club. And I f******g love all of you.”
    “When you go out, first f***ing tackle, listen to the crowd. They will f***ing be on you straight away.
    “Win every tackle. When you score, look in their faces. Look at their emotion, look how much they love you. Show them how much you love them, ok?”

    An aircraft was booked and ready to transport him to Istanbul for his medical and to sign the paperwork on a three-year deal.
    But according to Express reporter Ryan Taylor, Torreira decided not to board on Tuesday as planned.
    Instead, he wanted more time to make a final call.

    He still looks set to leave, wherever that may be, and follow Bernd Leno out of the Emirates exit door.

    Fulham co-owner Tony Khan added: “Bernd Leno is the goalkeeper whom we have pursued steadfastly throughout this transfer window, and we’re very excited that we’ve reached a transfer agreement and he’s now fully committed to Fulham!
    “He has played at the highest level, and he’ll bring this experience and his leadership to our team.
    “He’ll be a great addition to Marco’s squad, who are all excited for the season ahead! Come on Fulham!”
    Arsenal were quick to thank Leno for his service after 125 games played.
    A club statement read: “We thank you Bernd for your contribution to the club during your four years with us.
    “Everyone at Arsenal wishes Bernd and his family all the very best in their new chapter.”
    Posting a message to Gunners supporters on Twitter, Leno said: “Hey Arsenal fans, it’s time to move on for me.

    I give my dad a heart attack when I pass the ball out, says Arsenal keeper Aaron Ramsdale – as stats back up fears

    AARON RAMSDALE cannot wait for the first airing of the new Arsenal documentary — because it might show the public that being a footballer is not a bed of roses.England star Ramsdale is a central figure in the behind the scenes series All or Nothing: Arsenal which launches on Prime Video on Thursday.

    Aaron Ramsdale’s passing stats
    And he hopes the warts- and-all footage of life at the Emirates will prove just how much manager Mikel Arteta’s players have had to put up with.
    The goalkeeper, 24, said: “Being a footballer is one of the best jobs in the world — but at the same time it’s also one of the worst.
    “Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t me asking everyone to feel sorry for us, yet I hope this programme will show how hard it is.
    “All the time spent away from kids and families, all the constant travelling and living out of a suitcase.

    “Everyone thinks football is easy, you’re on the pitch for two or three hours and then you go home. But it’s not like that.
    “You’re travelling 24-7, you’re in the gym, you’re having treatment for injuries. I’m not asking for sympathy — it’s really just the facts of the job.”
    Ramsdale’s eyes were opened to the reality of life at a club like Arsenal before he even completed his £30million deal from relegated Sheffield United last summer.
    He revealed: “I had a lot of online negativity, idiots telling me not to sign, threats trying to scare me and saying, ‘We know where you live’ and stuff like that.
    “So pretty quickly I turned off all the notifications on social media from people who I don’t follow back.
    “They can still try to message me but it’s only my friends and people who are important to me who can contact me.
    “My mum and dad are on social media but don’t really know what they are doing, so it’s quite easy for them to type ‘Ramsdale’ into Twitter and end up on a page where there’s lots of negativity and abuse.
    “So turning off the notifications has definitely made me feel safer — but it was also better for my family and it’s stopped them from getting upset.
    “As much as I love the fans, the people I need to impress are the manager, the coaching staff and my team-mates.”
    Yet Ramsdale did not take long to figure out that the Twitter trolls are a world removed from the Arsenal regulars who have quickly taken the keeper to their hearts.
    He added: “I got a great reception in my first game in the Carabao Cup at West Brom.
    “So I very quickly realised the difference between true fans who travel to places like Birmingham on a Wednesday — and some idiot behind a keyboard who just wants to make comments about footballers because they think they can do better.”

    One of the stand-out moments from the early episodes is when Ramsdale throws a dressing-room strop after conceding a late goal in a 3-1 win against Aston Villa.
    He explained: “That was in the early stage of my Arsenal career — and in the previous two years at Bournemouth and Sheffield United, a late goal would have resulted in either a draw or a defeat.
    “My standards are high and I believe that goal difference can be a huge factor. So we have to defend for 96 minutes and not take our foot off the throttle.
    “I’m not selfishly focused only on clean sheets.“I just felt that we needed to defend properly as a team.”
    Ramsdale almost certainly gets his competitive streak from his father, Nick, who makes a sweary cameo in the documentary as he watches his son in action.
    The keeper, preparing to face Crystal Palace in Friday’s Premier League opener, said: “My dad still hates watching, especially now.
    “He tells me week in, week out to stop passing it into midfield because it is going to give him a heart attack.
    “I just say to him, ‘You’ll have to speak to Mikel about that’.
    “And because he has got the manager’s number from when I signed, he says ‘OK, I will’.
    “So then I have to stop him from going ahead and doing it!
    “He’s always a very competitive person — and I’m told he walks in and out of the box during every game.
    “You can see during the programme that he tries to kick and save every ball with me while he is watching.
    “He’s in a state of complete exhaustion by the time I see him after games.
    “And it’s only going to get worse for him the better we do.
    “Hopefully I’m going to get into the Champions League and, you never know, I might play in a World Cup or a Euros. So it’s something he’s got to deal with.”
