Balogun is on 14 goals in all competitions, already more than his past two seasons at Monaco combined.

He has scored in each of his past four Ligue 1 matches, form that has helped lift Monaco back into the European race.

The Principality club are now sixth, having been in mid-table at the start of February. Pocognoli also described Balogun as ambitious, focused and professional, saying his hard work is being repaid.
