Tolu Arokodare may be the leading scorer in the Belgian Jupiler Pro League and his club Genk are top of the table, but a football expert has said the striker will flop in the Premier League.
The big striker, who has recently been on the Super Eagles radar, was a direct replacement for fellow Nigerian star Paul Onuachu.
He has since been linked to a transfer to the Premier League with suggestions he could even command a transfer fee of around 20 Million Euros.
However, football expert Olivier Deschacht said just as Onuachu has failed to shine in the Premier League, Arokodare will also struggle in what is regarded as “the toughest league in the world”.
“Will someone pay 20 million to take Tolu (Arokodare) away? Mmm, it could be, but I don’t think so,” he told DAZN
“Look at Onuachu. I still rate him higher than Tolu, but he also couldn’t make it in the Premier League.
“I think it would be difficult for Tolu to succeed in the Premier League.”
It would be recalled that Arokodare struggled in the German Bundesliga a few years ago and had to go down to the French second dibision to revive his career.
A CALIBRE OF PLAYERS LIKE THIS SHOULD NOT BE INVITED TO SUPER EAGLE NO MATTER HOW MUCH GOALS THEY ARE SCORING FOR THEIR CLUB SIDES. MOST OF THEM , CANNOT ADJUST TO THE PATTERN/STYLE OF PLAY OF SUPER EAGLE. TEAM.
THE SAME THINGS HAPPENED TO PAUL ONUACHU. HE IS ONLY CLUD SIDE GOALSCORER DECIEVER. HE CANNOT ADJUST TO PLAY PATTERN OF SUPER EAGLE TEAM.
