Tolu issues clear statement on transfer rumours

KRC Genk missed just one out of six games this season, but on Sunday afternoon the Limburgers managed to recover well. They looked set for another defeat against Club Brugge, but in the last half hour they came from 0-2 down to win 3-2.

They can also be grateful to Tolu Arokodare for that. The Nigerian striker scored the equaliser seven minutes from time and thus played a key role in Genk’s comeback. While there have been rumours of his possible departure in recent days.

Tolo has yet to play his last game for Genk.

After all, Tolu will receive concrete interest from Trabzonspor, who will have the millions needed for his arrival. Thorsten Fink indicated after the match against the club that he would prefer his target striker to stay at Genk.

The German coach could also succeed. After the match, Tolo himself made a clear statement about his future. “I don’t think this was my last match with Racing Genk,” he told Het Laatste Nieuws.

Celebration in response to Sonke’s criticism

So it seems the player still has his head in Genk. He also put on a spectacular celebration after his goal. He rolled up his sleeves, and seemed to be responding to some of the critical words Wesley Sonk had directed at him a while ago.

“It wasn’t necessarily for the haters, but for those who don’t understand football and point out marginal issues and stupid things. I don’t understand what the sleeves being raised has to do with my game,” he said. “I just did it in the warm-up and some people exaggerate it. Then you don’t understand it.”
