Reflecting on Monaco's attacking prowess, Singo said, “We work a lot in training to have many offensive weapons. It pays off because nine players have already scored, including me against Lens, so danger comes from everywhere. Plenty of players are also showing formidable efficiency in front of goal, like Wissam Ben Yedder and Folarin Balogun. We are difficult to get a handle on.”

Folarin Balogun has already netted two goals for Monaco, showcasing his potential. While he has missed a couple of penalties, his contribution to the team's attacking options has been significant. Fans and teammates alike are hopeful that his conversion rate will improve as the season progresses and are excited to see him continue his impressive performances both at the club and international level.
