Nigerian striker Toluwalase Emmanuel Arokodare has responded to reports linking him with a move away from Belgian club KRC Genk, saying he’s focused on his current team and not rumors.
The 23-year-old has been in fine form this season, scoring four goals in four games, and has been linked with Turkish Super Lig side Trabzonspor.
Genk’s head coach, Thorsten Fink, has stated that Arokodare will only leave if there’s an irrefutable bid from another club.

Arokodare himself has joked about joining Real Madrid, saying “I think I might go to Real Madrid. I hear they are still looking for a second striker next to Mbappé. No, just kidding.”
Arokodare’s form has put him in contention for a first call-up to the Nigerian national team, and he’s vowed to give his all for the Super Eagles if selected. With his height and goal-scoring ability, Arokodare could be a valuable asset for Nigeria.
The Nigerian striker has found his groove this season, and his performances have caught the attention of other clubs. However, Genk is keen to keep him, and Arokodare seems committed to the club. For now, he’s focused on helping Genk succeed, and any transfer talks will have to wait.
Arokodare’s journey to Genk has been marked by ups and downs, but he’s finally finding his footing. His experience playing for FC Köln and Amiens SC has prepared him for the Belgian Pro League, and he’s taking advantage of his opportunities.
The transfer window heats up and Arokodare’s name will likely be mentioned in rumors and speculation. However, for now, he’s content with Genk and eyeing a potential call-up to the Nigerian national team. With his talent and dedication, Arokodare could become a key player for both club and country.
