Six months after setting his sights on George Ilenikhenawhich remains in development on the Rock, AS Monaco could well welcome another former Amiens SC striker who is a hit this season.
Arokodare future competitor to Ilenikhena?
Two years after his departure from Amiens for Belgium, thus allowing the emergence of George Ilenikhena, Tolu Arokodare could well find his former partner in Monaco! According to information from Foot Marketthe current Genk striker is one of the fallback solutions for the principality club, which has set its sights on Mika Biereththe player from Sturm Graz. However, negotiations are stuck around the transfer fee, with the Austrian club demanding no less than 20 million euros to sell the great Danish hope.
Top scorer in Jupiler Pro League this season with 14 goals to his name, to which must be added six assists, Three Arokodares could be available for a sum of around 15 million euros, three times the amount paid by Genk to bring him from Amiens under the nose of Anderlecht. Last summer, the 24-year-old Nigerian refused to join the Turkish championship. It was a good thing for him since the doors of Ligue 1 could well open to him, with the added prospect of playing the Champions League with ASM.
