German Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich are reportedly preparing a shock €25 million bid for Nigerian striker Tolu Arokodare, who has been in sensational form for Belgian club Genk this season.
The 24-year-old forward has scored 19 goals in 34 league appearances, attracting interest not only from Bayern but also Borussia Dortmund and VfB Stuttgart.
Bayern Munich believe Arokodare could be a potential backup option for their star striker Harry Kane, with initial inquiries already made, though no formal negotiations have started yet.

The Nigerian striker’s prolific scoring record this season has made him a hot commodity, and Bayern will need to move quickly to secure his signature amid competition from other Bundesliga clubs.
This potential signing would add to the growing contingent of Nigerian players in Germany’s top flight, joining Super Eagles duo Victor Boniface and Nathan Tella, who both currently play for Bayer Leverkusen, and Gift Orban of Hoffenheim.
