Racing Genk had to fear the departure of Tolu Arokodare in the summer. He was very close to a move to Trabzonspor. Ultimately, Thorsten Fink stopped that transfer. In the meantime, Tolu can dream of a step up next summer, and then it will not be Turkey as a destination.
For the first time, Tolu returns to that transfer soap. “Okay, I didn’t want to say anything about that before. It’s true that I almost left, but Fink convinced me to stay. Look, I didn’t actually want to go to Turkey. At my age, you should only do that if it’s Galatasaray, Besiktas and Fenerbahçe. Yet at some point I started considering it,” the Genk attacker admits in Het Laatste Nieuws.

“Why? Because there was no positive energy around me anymore. I had the feeling that I couldn’t do anything right anymore. Financially I could also do a good thing,” said the attacker. However, the new coach shed a new light on the whole matter. “Fink completely reassured me. He did not think I was a player for Turkey. ‘Stay with me for one year and you will be in the Premier League,’ he said. Something like that gives a lot of confidence. I must trust the process. Today I am very happy that I stayed,” Tolu said.
