Reims are hoping to utilise all available means to retain star striker, Folarin Balogun to the club in the summer transfer window.
Balogun who is on loan from Arsenal has light up the French Ligue 1 this season.
He is currently the top scorer in the French League having amassed 14 goals and one assist from 21 matches.
The 21-year-old would be certain to get various offers in the summer with his prolific form.
According to the Sun.co.uk Reims manager, Will Still did inquire to Arsenal if he could sign the striker on a permanent deal in the winter window which the London team swiftly rejected.
However he could still make a sensational return to Arsenal in the summer and fight for a place in the forward line alongside Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah.
He has represented England at the U-17, U-18, U-20 and U-21 levels, he also represented the USA at the U-18 level.
He is eligible to represent the Super Eagles of Nigeria due to his parentage.
Balogun has racked up 15 goals and two assists in 22 games across all competitions for Reims this season.

NFF….Time is ticking…Act now… I do not think we should wait for Peseiro to decide on this and my guts tell me he may never decide because even without Balogun, he already has selection problems in the offence and adding Balogun will complicate issues for him….Please now is the time to act and please do not leave this in the hands of Eguavoen. I know why am saying this….
So much talents that Nathan Tella isn not even considered or Chubba can make list. Is this a curse or a blessing. We need good administration Nigeria with the calibre of players in her possession should be comfortably robbing shoulders with England and the rest. This teller can be our Amokachi
