Folarin Balogun has joined Ligue 1 side Stade de Reims on a season-long loan in a bid to gain some regular game time.
The forward, 21, signed a new long-term contract with Arsenal last year and the club retain high hopes for his future.
With the club confirming the deal on Wednesday afternoon, Balogun arrives at Reims hoping to fill the centre forward spot abdicated by striker Hugo Ekitike who left to join Paris Saint Germain on a season-long loan. The deal is not believed to have an option to buy clause.
In their statement announcing Balogun's departure, Arsenal wished the player all the best for the upcoming campaign.
