Super Eagles forward Tolu Arokodare is attracting major Premier League interest after an impressive season in Belgium with Genk, NaijNaira can report.
According to The Telegraph, newly-promoted Burnley have joined Fulham and Manchester United in pursuit of the 6ft6 striker, following his standout performances.
Arokodare scored 23 goals and added seven assists across 45 appearances for Genk last season, playing a key role in their push to the Belgian Pro League playoffs.
He also won the Belgian Ebony Shoe Award, which honors the best player of African descent in the league, and earned a first Super Eagles call-up.
Burnley are in the market for a strong forward ahead of their Premier League return, and Arokodare fits the profile—imposing, physical, and affordable.
The 24-year-old is valued at €18 million, but Genk are reportedly holding out for around €25 million amid growing interest.
While Burnley offers Premier League football, their recent relegation and squad instability may make it a risky next step for Arokodare.
His situation mirrors Paul Onuachu’s, who struggled to adapt after moving from Genk to Southampton and hasn’t regained top form since.
A switch to Fulham could offer better long-term prospects, while a move to Manchester United might be too ambitious at this stage of his career.
Arokodare will need to weigh his options carefully before making a career-defining decision this summer.
