Genk boss desperate to keep Arokodare amid transfer interest

Published on: 13 August 2024

Genk head coach Thorsten Fink has expressed his determination to retain Nigerian striker Tolu Arokodare, despite strong interest from Turkish club Trabzonspor,  Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

Fink praised Arokodare's abilities, saying: "Believe me, no better striker is walking around in Belgium than Tolu. But he must show himself, show passion. Like he did against Club Brugge."

The German coach is confident in his ability to get the best out of Arokodare, stating: "I'm convinced I can get the best out of him. He also knows I believe in him."

Fink emphasized his desire to keep Arokodare, saying: "I really hope we can convince him to stay. Under €10M, you won't find a striker with his qualities. It's only when there's a very high offer and the player himself wants to leave, that you allow them to leave."

Arokodare has made a strong start to the season, scoring two goals in two league appearances for Genk.
