German Bundesliga heavyweights Bayern Munich have expressed interest in signing Nigerian forward Tolu Arokodare from Belgian club KRC Genk ahead of the summer transfer window.

The 23-year-old striker has been in impressive form this season, scoring 20 goals and providing five assists across all competitions for the Jupiler Pro League side.

According to reports from Germany, Bayern are exploring the possibility of bringing Arokodare in as a backup to England captain Harry Kane.

Genk are reportedly open to selling their top scorer, valuing him at around €25 million. Arokodare’s standout performances have also attracted interest from clubs in England and Turkey.

The Super Eagles prospect has continued to build a growing reputation in Europe, with his physical presence and goal-scoring instinct drawing comparisons to several top forwards on the continent.
