KRC Genk manager Thorsten Fink has praised Nigerian striker Tolu Arokodare, highlighting the qualities that make him one of the standout forwards in the Belgian Pro League. Arokodare has been in scintillating form this season, playing a pivotal role in Genk’s campaign.
The 24-year-old was instrumental in Genk’s recent 2-0 victory over Anderlecht, contributing a goal and an assist. This performance brought his league tally to 11 goals, underlining his consistency and attacking prowess.
Fink, speaking to Belgian outlet Het Nieuwsblad, expressed his admiration for Arokodare’s versatility and work ethic. “Tolu is a top striker. He is fast, strong in the air, left and right-footed, and he scores,” Fink said. “What more could you want as a coach? Moreover, he now also carries out his defensive duties, which he didn’t before.”
Arokodare’s development under Fink has seen him transform into a complete striker, combining his natural goal-scoring ability with improved defensive contributions. The Nigerian’s performances have drawn attention not only for his finishing skills but also for his adaptability and teamwork.
As Genk continues their quest for league success, Arokodare’s form will be crucial in maintaining their competitive edge. With consistent displays like these, the Nigerian striker is solidifying his reputation as one of the Pro League’s most reliable forwards.
