Replacing a striker with an averaged of 0. After moving to the Luminus Arena, Arokodare said it was the finest professional decision he had ever made. The Nigeria striker recently started out on the bench for the Belgian team and scored on his first effort.
Before making his debut, the head of football for Genk, indicated that the Nigerian is the best stand-in for Onuachu, and there is no one better.
With all these supportive remarks, it seems that Genk as a whole is merely using this move to conceal their sadness about losing their star player and dry their tears.
For Amiens SC, Arokodare was not at his best during last season, and his scoring ability was not up to pace. The Nigerian averaged 0. For a striker who started out as a true goal hacker at Valmiera FC in the Latvian league, with 22 goals in 34 games, they are by no means remarkable numbers. He was particularly unsteady in France, and his attacking stats throughout his stay at Amiens were below par.
The Super Eagles attacker averaged an absurd 0. However, he was leading the Belgian Pro League with 16 goals prior to his transfer to Southampton, so it could take Arokodare longer to catch up this season. Indeed, if the former Valmiera player was given a clean slate and a huge performance gap to cover, perhaps, he will. Earlier in the week, former manager, Philippe Hinschberger aimed cheap shots at Arokodare after the youngster completed his move from Amiens to Genk.
