<br>Arokodare, aged 24, concluded the regular season with a career-best 20 league goals, adding to his 22 goals in all competitions, including cup [matches](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/health-and-fitness/).

<br>We’re thrilled to see Arokodare’s excellence celebrated in Belgium. His inclusion in the Golden XI isn’t a surprise it’s a statement: Nigerian forwards can dominate top [European leagues](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/stadiums-and-facilities/10-reasons-caf-approved-remo-stars-stadium-ikenne-for-champions-league/) through sheer effectiveness, not just flashes of brilliance. Arokodare blends athleticism, sharp finishing, and aerial dominance three pillars that define a top-tier striker. |

<br>But recognition should translate into progression. Arokodare now has the platform to push for bigger leagues, international stability, and a key role in Nigeria’s ambition for World Cup qualification. It’s vital the Super Eagles’ leadership capitalises swiftly harnessing this form before peak transfer interest materialises. |

<br>At club level, Genk must ensure continuity. Whether they cash in or retain him for a title push, they should support his growth with quality service and tactical continuity. A striker in form should not be treated as inventory but empowered as a focal point. |

<br>For Nigerian football, his story should inspire young talents in academies and local leagues. Excellence abroad demands consistency, hunger and mental toughness. Arokodare’s journey embodies these becoming a blueprint, not exception. |

This tally earned him the Ebony Shoe, awarded to the top African player in Belgium. |

He became the first Nigerian striker to top the Belgian scoring charts, ending seasons with 16 goals by March and finishing higher. |

25 total league goals across two seasons surpassed Nigerian great Stephen Keshi’s 24, securing a place among the top Nigerian scorers in Belgium. |

Arokodare’s inclusion alongside Nigerian midfielder Raphael Onyedika marks a rare season where two Nigerians featured in the Belgian Golden XI. |
