Tolu Arokodare: A Big Shoe to Fill Replacing a striker with an averaged of 0.81 goals per game would never be an easy task, but for Tolu Arokodare, he would not be daunted by the challe
Replacing a striker with an averaged of 0.81 goals per game would never be an easy task, but for Tolu Arokodare, he would not be daunted by the challenges ahead and to prove his reediness, the Nigeria international was on target on his debut for Genk
The Nigeria striker recently started out on the bench for the Belgian team and scored on his first effort. For Amiens SC, Arokodare was not at his best during last season, and his scoring ability was not up to pace. The Nigerian averaged 0.36 goals per game, converting just 11% of his goal chances into actual goals, while scoring 21 goals and dishing out four assists for the French team.
However, he was leading the Belgian Pro League with 16 goals prior to his transfer to Southampton, so it could take Arokodare longer to catch up this season. While admitting that the young Nigerian has talent, Hinschberger is not unhappy that Arokodare has left Amiens. “The misunderstanding that we both may have had was that I was asking him to work on his qualities. He’s still a youngster who needs to do a lot of basic things, and that’s not too much into it.
“But Tolu is a young player with a lot of potentials, he was at the top of our wish list. He has a good bounce and is very eager to learn. He asks a lot of questions, which I think is very positive.
