Nigerian striker Tolu Arokodare continued his impressive goal-scoring form, netting his 16th goal of the season as he helped his club secure a crucial victory. The towering forward has been one of the standout performers in his league campaign, and his consistent displays have put him in contention for a Super Eagles call-up.
Arokodare, who plays for KRC Genk in Belgium, found the back of the net once again, showcasing his strength, aerial ability, and sharp finishing in front of goal. His latest goal reinforces his reputation as a lethal striker and adds to the growing calls for him to be considered for Nigeria’s senior national team.

Speaking after the match, Arokodare expressed his ambition to wear the green and white of Nigeria.
“It’s always been my dream to play for the Super Eagles. I’ve been working hard, and I believe I can contribute to the team. If given the opportunity, I’ll give my best for the country,” he said.
With Nigeria set to face crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers and the next AFCON tournament on the horizon, Arokodare’s form could make him a viable option for coach Eric Chelle as he looks to bolster the Super Eagles’ attacking options.
Fans and analysts have begun to advocate for his inclusion, citing his impressive statistics and ability to deliver under pressure. As the season progresses, Arokodare will be hoping that his performances earn him a long-awaited national team debut.
