Nigeria and KRC Genk striker, Tolu Emmanuel Arokodare, has revealed his admiration for Victor Osimhen whilst hinting he’ll love to play in the English Premier League in the future, Soccernet.ng reports.
The 23-year-old has been in his best form since joining the Belgian side this season, scoring six times in ten league games for Thorsten Fink’s side, making him the league’s top scorer.
While his form has been impressive, a call-up to the Nigerian National team has eluded him, but nonetheless, he’s revealed his love for two of the nation’s top strikers, Victor Osimhen and Victor Boniface.
Quizzed about what he thinks of Osimhen’s decision to quit Napoli for Galatasaray, the 6ft6-in tall striker said;
“I don’t think that’s my business, I mean if he moved to Chelsea, Real Madrid or to anywhere. Whatever decisions he makes, that’s the best for him, he knows what he wants and he makes the decisions, so I have no say in that. He is someone that I look out for. I have always admired (him), whatever he thinks is best for him. I mean you can see he is there already, I think he has two goals and two assists. He is having a big impact already in Turkey.”
Bayer 04 Leverkusen’s Victor Boniface has been vocal about his preference for football outside of the English Premier League, but Arokodare reveals his stance is different.
“Boniface saying he doesn’t want to play in the Premier league that’s his preference. Everyone has what they want for themselves and he has his style of play, he knows the kind of football he wants and we all are different human beings and we all know what we want.
For me, I would love to play in the Premier League, it will be a dream come true for me, everyone is there but can’t want the same thing. If he says the Premier League isn’t his style then we have to respect his taste and decisions,” the former FC Koln man said in an interview with Tribal Football.
Interim Super Eagles coach, Augustine Eguavoen, admitted he looked at Arokodare and Cyriel Dessers when he picked his squadlist for the upcoming AFCON 2025 qualifiers against Libya, but he opted for Taiwo Awoniyi and Kelechi Iheanacho.
