Several top clubs, including Newcastle United, Fulham, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Benfica, and Trabzonspor, are reportedly monitoring the 24-year-old’s situation.
Arokodare, who has scored 2 goals in his last 3 appearances, leads the league scoring chart with 20 goals, 2 goals clear of second-place Adriano Bartaccini.
When asked about the speculation, Arokodare said: “For the media noise, I just try to stay focused and keep a clear head.
“The future is unwritten, but like many players, it’s a dream of mine to one day play in the Premier League.”
As long as Arokodare continues to score and perform at a high level, a move to one of the big leagues will only be a matter of time.
