Fulham are in advanced talks to sign Genk striker Tolu Arokodare, with negotiations already underway between the clubs.
The 24-year-old Nigerian forward is reportedly eager to make the move to the Premier League.
Arokodare has also drawn interest from Manchester United and AC Milan, further highlighting his rising profile in European football.
Arokodare recently made headlines by scoring his first international goal for Nigeria, salvaging a draw against Russia.
His club form has been equally impressive — the powerful striker netted 23 goals and provided 6 assists across all competitions last season for KRC Genk.
If completed, the transfer would mark a major attacking reinforcement for Fulham ahead of the 2025–26 season.
