Genk's Nigerian striker, Toluwalase Arokodare, has been in the spotlight with 20 goals this season, showcasing a significant improvement from his previous campaign. Despite his impressive performance in the Pro League, concerns arise over potential transfer moves due to past experiences of Genk's top scorers struggling after leaving the club for the Premier League. Previous transfers of strikers like Paul Onuachu to Southampton and Mbwana Samatta to Aston Villa have not yielded the expected success, leading clubs to approach the situation with caution.
Arokodare, at 24, stands out for his aerial prowess, ball involvement, and chance creation compared to other forwards in the Belgian Pro League. However, his high volume of shots and underperformance in conversion rates may raise doubts among potential suitors. While his goal-scoring abilities make him an attractive prospect for transfer talks this summer, the track record of Genk's forwards facing challenges in the Premier League could deter clubs from pursuing the talented Nigerian striker.
