English Premier League club Burnley has reportedly joined the growing list of European sides expressing strong interest in Nigerian forward Tolu Arokodare, as the summer transfer window gathers momentum. The towering striker, who currently plies his trade with Genk in the Belgian Pro League, has been attracting attention following a string of impressive performances that have positioned him as one of Nigeria’s emerging attacking prospects in Europe.
Sources close to the negotiation scene revealed that Burnley, keen to bolster their attacking options ahead of the new season, have initiated exploratory talks with the player’s representatives. Arokodare, known for his physical presence, aerial dominance, and ability to hold up play, has seen his profile rise sharply over the past year, with several clubs across England, Germany, and France reportedly monitoring his situation.
While Genk are believed to be open to negotiations, they are also expected to demand a substantial fee for the 23-year-old striker, who still has time left on his contract. The club views him as a valuable asset and would prefer to retain him unless a convincing offer is tabled.
For Burnley, currently working to rebuild their squad after their return to the Premier League, the pursuit of Arokodare represents a strategic move to add depth and physicality to their frontline. The club’s technical team is said to be impressed with the Nigerian’s potential to adapt quickly to the demands of English football.
As discussions continue, the coming weeks could prove decisive in determining whether the Super Eagles hopeful makes the switch to Turf Moor. With transfer activity intensifying, Arokodare’s future remains one of the intriguing subplots of this summer’s market. to the negotiation scene revealed that Burnley, keen to bolster their attacking options ahead of the new season, have initiated exploratory talks with the player’s representatives.
