'If he scores one more goal' - Genk coach backs Arokodare to finish as undisputed top scorer

KRC Genk head coach Thorsten Fink has thrown his full support behind striker Tolu Arokodare as the Nigerian forward targets the Belgian Pro League’s top scorer title ahead of the club’s final match of the season against RSC Anderlecht.

Arokodare currently sits joint-top in the league’s scoring charts with 21 goals but leads on away goals. 

Fink believes one more strike in Sunday’s game will settle the race once and for all. 

"In fact, he is already top scorer at the moment, because he has scored more away goals,” Fink told Genk's official webiste. 

"But if he scores one more goal on Sunday, he will be top scorer all by himself."

The 24-year-old has been a standout figure in Genk’s attack throughout the 2024-2025 campaign, delivering consistent performances and vital goals. 

His ability to perform under pressure has earned praise from both fans and staff, and his determination to finish the season on a high has not gone unnoticed.

"He was very sharp and eager in training this week. He is very motivated to end the season in style," the German added.

With the final match taking place at a sold-out Cegeka Arena, the stage is set for Arokodare to cement his status as the league’s most prolific forward. 

Genk are riding high after last week’s 4-1 away win over AA Gent and are eager to conclude the season with another strong performance.

For Arokodare, a goal on Sunday would not only crown him the undisputed top scorer but also highlight his vital contribution to Genk’s impressive campaign. 

All eyes will be on the Nigerian as he looks to deliver one final moment of brilliance in front of the home fans.
