Tolu Arokodare, a forward for KRC Genk, says he is eager to don the green and white jersey of Nigeria.
Nigeria’s roster for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and Zimbabwe includes Arokodare.
The striker is been invited to the Super Eagles for the first time.
Already in the team’s camp at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Kigali, the 24-year-old is giddy with anticipation.
“I’m still unsure of how to feel.” It’s a mixture of solely positive emotions for myself and my family. Voetbalnieuws cited the forward as saying, “I can’t wait to put that shirt on.”
Last weekend, Genk defeated Union Saint-Gilloise 2-0, with Arokodare scoring the game’s goal.
This season, he has scored 17 goals for the Smurfs in the league.
