German giants Bayern Munich are monitoring Super Eagles striker Tolu Arokodare for a possible summer move. Arokodare has been outstanding for Genk this season in the Belgian Jupiler League.
The 24-year-old has scored 19 goals and provided five assists in the league. He currently tops the Jupiler League scoring charts and has been pivotal in Genk’s title challenge.
Arokodare’s impressive form has drawn attention from several top European clubs. Newcastle, Stuttgart, Borussia Dortmund, and Trabzonspor are reportedly interested in the Nigerian forward.
However, Bayern Munich’s interest seems the most concrete at the moment. The Bundesliga champions need a reliable striker to complement Harry Kane next season.
Mathys Tel was expected to play this backup role but chose to join Tottenham on loan in January. This has left Bayern searching for a towering presence like Arokodare, who stands 6-foot-6.
Arokodare, valued at €25 million, is an affordable option for the Bavarians. His physical attributes and scoring prowess make him an attractive prospect for the German club.
A move to Bayern would be a significant step up for Arokodare. However, it could reduce his playing time, which may hinder his development at this critical stage of his career.
Despite the risks, playing for Bayern Munich could sharpen his abilities. With their creative midfield, Arokodare is likely to score many goals if given the opportunity.
