AS Monaco have reportedly stepped up their pursuit of Nigerian striker Tolu Arokodare following his outstanding performances for Belgian side Genk.
Softfootball understands the Ligue 1 club have already established contact with the player’s representatives, although formal negotiations with Genk are yet to begin.
According to French outlet Foot Mercato, Monaco view the Super Eagles forward as a priority attacking target after his prolific campaign in Belgium.
The 24 year old currently leads the Belgian Pro League scoring chart with 13 league goals and has attracted a lot of interests from clubs across Europe, including some teams in the English Premier League.
Arokodare was close to joining Turkish side Trabzonspor during the previous transfer window, but the move failed to materialise.
His consistent form this season has significantly boosted his reputation, making him one of the most sought-after Nigerian forwards in Europe ahead of the January transfer window.
