Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund have added Nigerian striker Tolu Arokodare to their list of transfer targets for the upcoming 2025/26 season, following his impressive performance in the Belgian Pro League.
The 24-year-old KRC Genk forward has been in scintillating form this season, establishing himself as the leading marksman in the Belgian top flight with 22 goals and seven assists.
According to Transfermarkt, Dortmund's interest comes amid growing attention from clubs in England and Turkey. The Nigerian striker nearly joined Turkish Super Lig giants Trabzonspor last summer but was convinced to remain at the Cegeka Arena by manager Thorsten Fink.
Arokodare's stellar performances have not gone unnoticed, as he recently claimed the prestigious Ebony Shoe Award and the 2025 Golden Shoe award in Belgium, further cementing his status as one of the most promising talents in the league.
Reports indicate that Genk would be willing to part ways with their talismanic striker if a suitable offer is presented. The Nigerian international remains under contract with the Belgian club until 2027.
This potential move to Dortmund represents a significant step up for Arokodare, who could follow in the footsteps of several African players who have excelled at the German club in recent years.
The striker has also reportedly drawn interest from other European giants, with separate reports suggesting he could be considered as a backup option for Harry Kane at Bayern Munich.
