Newcastle monitor two-cap Super Eagles star ahead of summer transfer window

Premier League side Newcastle United have set their sights on Super Eagles striker Tolu Arokodare as they look to bolster their attacking options ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window, Soccernet.ng reports.

Clubs across the continent are already shifting focus to the summer transfer window in a bid to reinforce their squads ahead of the next campaign.

According to Africa Foot, the Magpies are reportedly keeping a close eye on the two-cap Super Eagles attacker.

Arokodare, who currently plies his trade with Belgian Pro League side Genk, has attracted interest for his impressive performance so far this season, scoring 20 goals and providing seven assists in 38 matches.

The 24-year-old forward joined Genk from Amiens in January 2023 and has since been working his way into prominence in Belgium’s top flight.

This year, his outstanding form has earned him a call-up, where he featured for the Super Eagles against Rwanda and Zimbabwe for their 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

Newcastle are believed to be in the market for attacking reinforcements, with the club aiming to add more depth and competition to their forward line.

While there has been no official approach from Newcastle, sources suggest that the club is closely monitoring the Nigerian’s performances and progress, potentially laying the groundwork for a summer move.

Arokodare, who began his professional career in Latvia with Valmiera, has also had stints in Germany with FC Köln and in France with Amiens.
