Arokodare speaks on playing with Osimhen
Arokodare has called Osimhen and Lookman his favourites and has shown his respect for them.
Speaking to Soccernet.ng, Arokodare said, “[Victor] Osimhen! [I] can’t wait to play alongside him.
“Also, [Ademola] Lookman as well and everyone in general, they [Super Eagles of Nigeria] look like a close bunch of players, and it will be nice to get into that vibe and bond with them.”
Should he be called up to the national team, he can't wait to be on the pitch alongside Osimhen, Lookman, and other Super Eagles players.
Arokodare is presently the Nigerian player with the most goals in the top 10 leagues (13) in the world.
Alex Iwobi has five goals, Victor Boniface has six, Lookman has nine, and Osimhen has ten.
In their attempt to maintain their advantage at the top of the Belgian league rankings, Genk will play Oud-Heverlee Leuven at the Cegeka Arena on Saturday.
Arokodare, one of the top players in Thorsten Fink's team, will be looking to build on his previous performance.
