Super Eagles hopeful Tolu Arokodare, a Nigerian striker and key player for KRC Genk, has made headlines by winning October’s Goal of the Month award.
His remarkable form has been turning heads, not only among Genk supporters but also from clubs in Turkey and Germany, Footballrover reports.
With his goal-scoring abilities on full display, Arokodare’s achievements are stirring conversations about a potential move in the winter transfer window.
The 23-year-old was awarded Goal of the Month through a fan poll, recognising his standout strike against KAA Gent.
His composed half-volley finish shows his finesse and ability to perform in high-stakes moments, making it a memorable highlight in Genk’s 2-0 away victory.
This goal added to his impressive record of eight goals and one assist in just 12 games, establishing Arokodare as one of the top players in the Belgium Pro League.
Tolu Arokodare’s form fuels Super Eagles hopes
Fans are now calling for Arokodare’s inclusion in the Super Eagles squad to replace injured Chidera Ejuke, eager to see his goal-scoring prowess on the international stage.
The young striker’s consistency, coupled with his Goal of the Month accolade, strengthens his case as a valuable asset for Nigeria’s national team.
The winning goal came in a match where Arokodare overcame missed opportunities to deliver a defining moment.
After a Genk defensive counter, teammate Christopher Bonsu-Baah crossed from the left, enabling Arokodare to meet the ball with a clinical half-volley to open the scoring.
This breakthrough contributed to Genk’s eventual victory, with Jame Steukers later converting a penalty to seal the game.
Arokodare’s recent performances continue to see him maintain a key role in Genk’s starting lineup, and the club remains hopeful his continued success will help secure a play-off spot.
With mounting interest from abroad, fans are keen to see what’s next for the in-form Super Eagles hopeful and Goal of the Month recipient.
