FULHAM are plotting a summer move for Genk’s star striker Tolu Arokodare as they look to bolster their attacking options ahead of next season.
The Nigerian forward, who was in scintillating form last season, finished as the top scorer in the Belgian Pro League with an impressive 17 league goals and 23 in total across all competitions.

His brilliant performances have not gone unnoticed with Manchester United and AC Milan also monitoring the 24-year-old’s progress.
Ruben Amorim‘s side are keen on signing Viktor Gyokeres but reports suggest Arokodare, considered a rising star in European football, is also on their radar.
Sources close to the player have revealed to SunSport that Arokodare is eager to secure a move to the Premier League.
Fulham have already held exploratory talks with the striker‘s entourage following his recent switch of agency, a move aimed at facilitating a transfer to England.
The Cottagers boast a growing contingent of Nigerian players, with Arokodare understood to share a strong bond with compatriots Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey.
Arokodare’s powerful displays in Belgium have made him one of Europe’s most sought-after young strikers.
Fulham are determined to add firepower to their squad after a mixed Premier League campaign.

Manager Marco Silva is believed to be a huge admirer of Arokodare’s physicality and clinical finishing and sees him as an ideal fit for Fulham’s style of play.
The striker is valued at around £15million.
Given his exploits in the Belgian league he could prove to be a major coup for Fulham if he can replicate that form in the Premier League.
Last season, Fulham finished 10th but goals were hard to come by.
Raul Jimenez was the only player to reach double digits, scoring 12 goals, with Alex Iwobi contributing nine.
One of the key areas the club is looking to strengthen is goal output.
They hope to bring in players capable of reaching double figures in the Premier League as they aim to solidify their top-flight status and push for the increasingly competitive European spots now available to English clubs.
