Fulham are weighing up a summer move for KRC Genk’s red-hot Nigerian forward Tolu Arokodare, as the Premier League club looks to strengthen its attacking department ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
The 24-year-old striker was one of the standout performers in the Belgian Pro League last season, finishing as the league’s top scorer with 17 goals and netting 23 across all competitions for the Smurfs.

Arokodare’s goal-scoring exploits have placed him firmly on the radar of top European clubs, with Manchester United, AC Milan, Bayern Munich, and Borussia Dortmund all reportedly monitoring his situation.
According to SunSport, the Nigerian international is eager to test himself at the highest level in the Premier League, a move that could now materialise with Fulham showing concrete interest.
Sources close to the player have confirmed that Fulham have already opened initial talks with Arokodare’s representatives as they assess the feasibility of a potential deal.
The Cottagers are desperate to reinforce their attacking options after narrowly missing out on European qualification last season, and manager Marco Silva sees Arokodare as a key target to inject fresh firepower into his squad.
Should the deal go through, Arokodare would join fellow Nigerian stars Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey at Craven Cottage, a growing Nigerian contingent that could strengthen Fulham’s connection with African fans.
Described as a physical and mobile striker with an eye for goal, Arokodare’s mix of power and precision has drawn comparisons to some of the best emerging No.9s in Europe.
