Arokodare to Fulham
As Pulse Sports reported, Fulham are plotting a move for Genk superstar Tolu Arokodare and have already contacted his representatives to initiate talks.
The 24-year-old Nigerian star was in top form last season, leading the Belgian Pro League with 17 goals and racking up 23 across all competitions.
His standout performances have caught the eye of big clubs like Manchester United and AC Milan, but sources close to the player have revealed a strong desire to move to the Premier League.

What Iorfa said
Iorfa, 56, who recorded 21 caps for the Nigerian national team, was asked about the reports linking Arokodare to the Cottagers, and he had the following to say:
“I reckon it will be a good move for him, as he has the physical attributes to play in England,” Iorfa said.
“He is a big, strong lad and can also run, so he will not have much problems adjusting to life in the Premier League if the move pulls through. I believe he will be a better player if he moves to England.
“We have two players there at Fulham that can help him settle down. With Alex [Iwobi] and Calvin [Bassey], he will be in good hands there if the move happens.
“They are already familiar with each other in the Super Eagles, so it will be easy. And financially, it will be better for him, as I am sure he will earn more in England than he does in Belgium.”
Fulham house two of the best Nigerian footballers already, as Iorfa pointed out. Last season, Calvin Bassey was named their Player of the Season, and Iwobi had a strong shout for the award as well.
