Arokodare Linked with Manchester United

Genk and Super Eagles striker Tolu Arokodare is the latest player to be linked with Premier League giants Manchester United. According to English journalist Graeme Baily, Arokodare could well be a cheaper option to the many top strikers who have been linked to ‘The Red Devils’, Victor Osimhen, Viktor Gyokeres and Hugo Ekitike.

Several scouts have reportedly already travelled to Belgium to watch Arokodare in action. The Nigerian has also impressed them and has brought positive reports back to England.

Bailey claims that United will soon make an attempt if their top targets ultimately proved unachievable.

Arokodare can thus capitalize on his fine season in the Jupiler Pro League with Genk.

It has already earned him the Ebony Shoe and soon also a transfer. Head of Football Dimitri De Condé has already confirmed that agreements have been made with Arokodare and that Genk will cooperate on a transfer.

The Nigerian striker himself also seems to be interested in the move to United. In the past, he has repeatedly stated that it was a dream for him to play football in England and more specifically the Premier League.

Meanwhile, Galatasaray patience with Victor Osimhen is wearing thin with a top official of the Turkish champions now saying time is running out as they wait on the striker to decide on his next move.

Galatasaray Vice-President Abdullah Kavukcu said at a press conference they expect Osimhen to make a decision as soon as possible.

He said Galatasaray have spoken to Napoli on the striker’s transfer and have respected Osimhen’s plea to be given more time to decide.

“Osimhen must decide as soon as possible,” the top Galatasaray official said.

“He always ask us for time, we respect that, he has a family too, but then time runs out.

“We made a much higher offer than any European club and at the moment we are not negotiating with any other striker.

“We’re not thinking about plan B, we want Osimhen.”

He continued: “We have already spoken to Napoli. Our goal is to build a team that can compete with teams from over the world, not just in Turkey.

“We have to be patient. We are working day and night.”
