He was born July 3, 2001, in New York, United States. Born in the United States, he represented both the United States and England at the youth international level.

Balogun joined Arsenal at the age of eight after being scouted while playing for his previous Sunday League side, Aldersbrook. Before trialing with Arsenal, he had trialed with North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur and nearly signed for them.

In 2017 he was an integral part of Trevor Bumstead’s Arsenal U16 side that won the Liam Brady Cup, beating Bayern Munich, Manchester United, and Juventus respectively.

He signed a professional contract in February 2019.

In July 2020, after failing to agree a new contract with Arsenal, he was linked with a transfer away from the club, including a proposed £8 million sale to Brentford.

He made his senior debut in the Europa League on 29 October 2020, coming on as a substitute in the 74th minute in a group stage match against Dundalk. He scored his first senior goal on November 26, 2020, in a Europa League group-stage match against Molde.

On April 26, 2021, Balogun signed a new long-term contract with the club. Balogun made his Premier League debut in a 2–0 loss against newly promoted Brentford on August 13, 2021.

On January 12, 2022, he joined EFL Championship club Middlesbrough on a loan deal until the end of the season.

In August 2022, he moved on loan to French club Reims. Balogun scored on his debut for the club on August 7, a 4–1 defeat to Marseille; fellow Arsenal loanee Nuno Tavares scored for Marseille in the match, on his debut respectively.

On 29 January 2023, Balogun scored a late goal in stoppage time to seal a 1–1 draw away to league leaders PSG. It was his 11th goal in Ligue 1 during the season, the most of any player aged 21 or under in Europe’s top five leagues. Three days later, Balogun scored his first senior hat-trick in a 4–2 win over Lorient, his 14th goal of the season in Ligue 1. This made him the top scorer in Ligue 1.
