From the Wikipedia article

The story of Folarin Balogun

Folarin Jerry Balogun (born July 3, 2001) is a professional soccer player who plays as a striker for Ligue 1 club Monaco and the United States national team.

Balogun began his career at the Arsenal Academy, and was promoted to the first team in 2020. He appeared sparingly for the club, and went on loan to EFL Championship club Middlesbrough in 2022. In the following season, he made his breakthrough during a loan to Ligue 1 club Reims, where he scored 22 goals in his first season, the highest ever for an American in a top five European league. In August 2023, Balogun left Arsenal and signed for Monaco for €40 million ($43 million), where he was named the club's 2025–26 Player of the Season.

Balogun represented both the United States and England at the youth international level. In May 2023, he decided to play for the U.S. senior national team. He made his debut in June 2023, winning the 2023 CONCACAF Nations League and scoring his first goal in the final.

Early life

Balogun was born in Brooklyn, New York, to Yoruba Nigerian parents. His parents were living in London, and visited New York when his mother was seven months pregnant with him. Airline staff did not allow her to board the family's return flight to London due to safety concerns over the advanced state of her pregnancy, and Balogun was subsequently born in New York. He returned to the United Kingdom with his parents when he was two months old and grew up in London.
