The top scorer in the upper division of Belgium, Tolu Arokodare, made his chances of obtaining a call for the first time to Nigeria’s national team very well with his number 16 of the season for Genk in a 1-1 draw against Charleroi.
Arokodare hit in the 71st minute of the game and his goal was destined to be the winner until the local team received a penalty in the 89th minute, which helped them attract the level.
The former U17 striker of Nigeria who also boasts five assists this season is widely proposed to receive a call to the national senior team of Nigeria by the new coach Eric Chelle before his classification games of the World Cup against Ruanda and Zimbabwe, respectively, in March.
He already made the provisional list of players, but there is no guarantee or confirmation that he is in the final list of 23 men for games in Kigali on 21 and in Uyo four days later.
His form has already caught the attention of the number one striker in the national senior team of Nigeria Victor Osimhen, who reacted to a position on the luxurious 24 -year -old player on social networks and proposed it for greatness.
βSeeing him make a great name for himself and for his team is something incredible. Knowing how it started, I know that greatness will surely reach, βhe said.
