Big news for Nigerian football fans! AC Milan are looking to sign Nigeria’s Tolu Arokodare as they continue to rebuild their team for the new season.
According to Corriere dello Sport, Milan are already in talks with Belgian club Genk about a possible transfer for the 23-year-old striker. Arokodare is known for his height—he stands at 6 feet 6 inches—and had a great season last year, scoring 23 goals and getting 7 assists in 45 matches.
The Italian club is looking for a strong striker who can support and rotate with their new January signing, Santiago Gimenez. Milan want someone who plays like their former star, Olivier Giroud—and Arokodare seems like the perfect fit.
Not only is he tall and powerful, but his price tag of around €20–25 million also makes him a smart buy. He’s much cheaper than another Nigerian striker, Victor Boniface, who is valued at around €70–75 million.
Arokodare has already played for Nigeria’s national team (the Super Eagles) three times. Milan believe he can be a long-term star in their team.
