Bayern Munich Monitoring Tolu Arokodare as Harry Kane Backup

Bayern Munich are considering Nigerian striker Tolu Arokodare (24) from KRC Genk as a potential backup for Harry Kane. Arokodare has scored 19 goals in 34 league matches for Genk, with a €25 million price tag. Bayern interest follows his previous experience in Germany with FC Köln during the 2020/21 season. Dortmund and Stuttgart have also shown interest in him.

When the search for a backup to Harry Kane continues, Bayern Munich has reportedly turned their attention to KRC Genk's Nigerian striker, Tolu Arokodare. The 24-year-old forward has impressed in the Jupiler Pro League, scoring 19 goals in 34 league appearances for Genk this season.

With a price tag of €25 million, Arokodare has attracted interest from other Bundesliga clubs, including Borussia Dortmund and VfB Stuttgart. This potential transfer would not be Arokodare's first experience in Germany, as he spent the 2020/21 season on loan at FC Köln. Prior to his time at Genk, Arokodare played in France and Latvia, but he has now found success in Belgium.

Bayern's pursuit of a backup striker comes amid efforts to streamline their operations and cut costs, and Arokodare could fit that profile. The question remains whether this move would be a realistic and effective solution for the Bavarians or if it is merely an unlikely transfer opportunity.
