The coach of top division Belgium side Gent Thorsten Fink says Tolu Arokodare who is heavily under consideration for a first time call up to the senior national team of Nigeria is the best striker in the Belgium top division, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Arokodare is having a whirlwind start to the season, and it has put him on the radar of the interim coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Austine Eguavoen, who was hinted about the forward by his sources in Belgium.
There is a huge chance of the former Nigeria U17 striker getting the call up as a replacement for first choice striker Victor Osimhen, who is battling to be fit for the double header game against Libya in the AFCON 2025 qualifiers scheduled for the 11th and 15th of October respectively.
Fink while speaking on the 23 year old early in the season in the wake of report that he could leave the team said he is keen on holding on to the physically imposing striker who has scored six goals in nine games this season.

“Believe me, there is no better striker in Belgium than Tolu,” said the former Bayern Munich star Fink . “On condition that he plays with passion. He showed that against Club Brugge.”
“I am convinced that I can get the best out of him. Tolu knows that I believe in him. I hope to convince him to stay at Racing Genk. You won’t find a striker with his qualities for less than ten million.”
