Tolu Arokodare, the Nigerian striker for KRC Genk, is set to mark a significant milestone in his career with his 100th appearance for the Belgian Pro League club. This achievement comes at a high point for Arokodare, who has recently made his debut for the Super Eagles and has been in impressive form for Genk, contributing 37 goals and 12 assists in his time with the team.
Arokodare’s journey to this milestone has been marked by challenges and triumphs. He previously faced difficulties during a loan spell with FC Cologne in Germany, where he struggled to gain playing time and faced cultural challenges. However, since joining Genk under coach Thorsten Fink, Arokodare has experienced a career resurgence, crediting Fink for his positive turnaround.
As he prepares for his 100th game, Arokodare is also focused on his international career with Nigeria. He recently made his debut for the Super Eagles in a 2026 World Cup qualifier against Rwanda, an experience that left him emotional as he shared the pitch with his idol, Victor Osimhen. Arokodare’s performances have drawn attention from Super Eagles selectors, positioning him as a potential asset for Nigeria’s future international fixtures.
Despite narrowly missing out on the Belgian Jupiler League title with Genk, Arokodare remains optimistic about his team’s prospects and believes they deserve to win the title more than any other side in the division7. His dedication and form have been crucial to Genk’s success, and he continues to be a dominant force in the league
