There’s nothing better than seeing a striker in good form. Folarin Balogun does just that. The AS Monaco forward continued to shine, scoring some stunning goals, including his recent shocker against Olympique de Marseille, which quickly became one of the most talked about goals in Ligue 1.
Balogun’s goal that everyone is talking about
Balogun came on in the 74th minute to seal a 2-1 win, extending Monaco’s winning streak to seven straight and solidifying their status as one of France’s hottest teams.
The moment also highlights his great form heading into the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where he is expected to play a key role on the U.S. men’s national soccer team.
Balogun’s form is attracting attention
In his last seven games for club and country, Balogun has been directly involved in seven goals, an elite production that has him firmly on the radar of Europe’s top clubs.
A return to England could be on the horizon, with interest from Premier League teams increasing. The striker began his professional career at Arsenal and also spent a loan spell at Middlesbrough.
But Balogun is now locked in and playing the kind of football that is must-see every time he steps on the pitch.
