Let's talk Folarin Balogun!
There's lots of excitement given the recent renewal news (for good reason I might add) but below is a quick analysis of what Flo brings to the first team.
Is the hype warranted? In short yes he provides a complete 9 profile. https://twitter.com/prime_brodie/status/1276882365399339008

A complete 9 who lives off the shoulder of the last defender, Flo is an instinctive striker & clinical finisher with either foot, consistently finding the bottom corners with power & precision.
He has quick feet, blistering pace & predatory movement to run in behind defenses.

What's his superpower?
It would be weird not to mention his composure in front of goal, but what makes me excited is his ability to pin opposing CB's with ease.
He can receive under pressure & roll contact before bursting on goal-vital projecting adaptability to men's football.

What can he work on?
All of this sounds very exciting, yet he can at times let the game pass him by tho his qualities make him a constant threat.
He does need to work on his ability to block passing lanes from the front & learn pressing triggers with greater regularity.

Conclusion
Flo is a rich man's Timo Werner posing far greater technical security and composure under contact from opposition CB's.
IMO his ceiling is easily able to lead the line for a Top 6 club in the EPL looking to challenge-high praise but one he will display in due course!
