Former Belgium international Steven Defour has urged Tolu Arokodare to maintain his focus on scoring goals as speculation surrounding the striker’s future continues.
Softfootball understands that the Genk forward has attracted growing attention after producing impressive performances in Belgium.
Arokodare has developed into one of the club’s most important attacking players and has continued to improve his finishing and overall contribution.
With several clubs reportedly monitoring the Nigerian striker, Defour believes the best approach for the player is to remain focused on his football.
The forward’s physical strength and ability to hold up play have made him a difficult opponent for defenders, while his goalscoring form has increased his value.
Arokodare has also been linked with a possible move away from Genk, but the club is expected to demand a substantial transfer fee.
Defour believes continued goals will only strengthen the striker’s position and create more opportunities.
The Nigerian will now be expected to maintain his performances while allowing Genk to handle speculation over his future.
Arokodare’s next career move could become one of the major transfer stories involving a Nigerian player this summer.
