Chelsea, Arsenal, Man Utd scouts set to watch Onyedika, Arokodare in Club Brugge v Genk

Premier League clubs, including Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United, are set to send scouts to Belgium this weekend to monitor Super Eagles stars Raphael Onyedika and Tolu Arokodare as Club Brugge host KRC Genk on Sunday.

Arokodare, one of the standout performers in the Belgian Pro League this season, has become a hot prospect for a summer transfer following a sensational campaign with KRC Genk.

The towering striker, who made his senior debut for Nigeria in March against Rwanda, has netted 18 goals and provided 5 assists in 32 league appearances.

His physical presence and goal-scoring instinct have drawn comparisons to former Genk striker Paul Onuachu, and his future in Belgium is now uncertain amid increasing interest from Premier League clubs.

Meanwhile, Raphael Onyedika continues to build his reputation as a dependable box-to-box midfielder with Club Brugge. 

The 23-year-old has played a pivotal role for the Belgian giants both in domestic competition and in Europe.

He has registered one goal and one assist in 27 league matches, and matched those figures in the UEFA Champions League, contributing at both ends of the pitch.

According to Belgian outlet Voetbal24.be, scouts from Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United will be in attendance at the Jan Breydel Stadium, with representatives from AC Milan, Juventus, Borussia Dortmund, and Real Sociedad also expected.

The report added that Onyedika and Arokodare are among the players the scouts would be keeping an eye on tomorrow evening.

The presence of such elite clubs underlined the growing profile of both Nigerian internationals, whose development is being closely watched ahead of the summer transfer window. 

A strong showing on Sunday could edge them closer to a big move abroad.
