Manchester United is considering a surprising decision to sign a “powerful” £20 million striker in place of Gyokeres.
Tolu Arokodare, a striker for Racing Genk, is under consideration for a surprise transfer to Manchester United this summer, according to United in Focus. The Red Devils are rumoured to be in the market to acquire a new striker during the summer transfer window for Ruben Amorim.
The club is seeking to address their goalscoring issues in order to improve on a disastrous season in 2024/25, which saw them finish 15th in the Premier League and lose the Europa League final. Until now, the summer has been characterised by a focus on prominent candidates for the position.
However, recent reports indicate that United’s executives may be considering more moderate and obscure alternatives. Manchester United is considering a deal for Arokodare. Man Utd have been compiling a shortlist of striker options as a backup to their current primary targets, according to the report. Arokodare of Genk is one name that has emerged.
The Belgian league’s top scorer for the 2024/25 season was the 24-year-old, who scored 17 goals. In all competitions, he scored 23 goals. He is currently being pursued by numerous organisations throughout Europe.. The Nigerian international is a player that United executives Christopher Vivell and Jason Wilcox are both aware of and appreciate, and
he has been described as ‘powerful’ and ‘prolific’. His name has been mentioned at Old Trafford. 2024/25 Tolu Arokodare Stats Games 45 minutes 3321 objectives Twenty-three Seven Assists Although he is not currently a top candidate for a sign-on, United may consider a lesser-known option such as Arokodare if their pursuit of their primary targets is unsuccessful.
At present, the club is in discussions with Frankfurt regarding a potential acquisition of Hugo Ekitike. Additionally, there is substantial interest in the services of Viktor Gyokeres, a top player for Sporting CP. Nevertheless, the Bundesliga club is requesting £84m in order to allow their star forward to depart, and Gyokeres is reportedly favouring a transfer to Arsenal over Old Trafford.
Benfica is also expressing interest in Arokodare, but it is estimated that his departure would result in a cost of approximately £20 million this summer. It is also speculated that he would receive low wages, and an agreement may be feasible due to the fact that he is approaching the conclusion of his contract in Belgium, which spans two years.
