AS Monaco striker Folarin Balogun is being cast as the central attacking figure for the US men's national team ahead of the World Cup, with his movement and off-ball work valued as highly as his finishing by the national team setup. The forward's ability to stretch defences and create space for the US midfield is seen as essential to the team's attacking structure, even on days when his touch count stays low. For Monaco fans, the profile piece reinforces what they have seen at the Stade Louis-II, Balogun's game is about more than just goals, and his World Cup platform could elevate his standing across Europe.
