Tolu Arokodare has commended Victor Osimhen, Wilfred Ndidi, and Victor Boniface, calling them "high-level players" after practicing with the trio during the international break.

Eric Chelle called Arokodare up for his first national team appearance during the Super Eagles 2026 World Cup qualifying matches against Rwanda and Zimbabwe.

The 24-year-old debuted for the Super Eagles against the Wasps, coming off the bench for roughly thirteen minutes of play. 

He also came in as a substitute on his home debut and played a part in the Super Eagles' goal despite the disappointing 1-1 draw against Zimbabwe in Uyo.

According to voetbalbelgie.be, Arokodare said, "I walk around with a different feeling now. That selection gave me an extra boost. 

"Training with players like Victor Osimhen, Wilfred Ndidi or Victor Boniface, they are 'high level' players. I am very happy that I have already had that experience.”
