Man Utd to miss out?! Fulham ready to make bid for towering striker Tolu Arokodare despite competition from Ruben Amorim's side

Fulham are all set to place a bid for Genk star Tolu Arokodare as they look to bolster their attack this summer. The Nigerian striker had a fantastic season in the Belgian Pro League as he ended up as the league's top scorer with 17 goals to his name. Arokodare has a towering presence inside the penalty box and has also attracted interest from Manchester United and AC Milan.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The report adds that Arokodare is strongly interested in making a move to the Premier League this summer. His excellent displays in the Belgian top division have made him one of Europe's most sought-after forwards in the summer transfer window. The player is currently valued at £15 million ($20m).

WHAT HAPPENED? 

Fulham boss Marco Silva is known to be an admirer of Arokodare's physicality and clinical finishing. After securing the 11th place in the league last season, where they scored 54 goals with Raul Jimenez being the only striker who reached double figures in the competition, Silva is looking to strengthen the team's attack by adding more firepower.
