Former Belgium international Toby Alderweireld has showered praise on Nigerian striker Tolu Arokodare, naming him as one of the top forwards in the Belgian Jupiler Pro League, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Arokodare enjoyed a standout season with Genk, scoring 23 goals and providing seven assists across all competitions — a performance that has not gone unnoticed.

Speaking in an interview with Voetbalkrant, Alderweireld commended the Super Eagles star for his quality and humility.

 “There are players who went above and beyond. Tolu [Arokodare] is a great example — a great guy,” Alderweireld said.

"He came up to me during a match and said, ‘Toby, I’m a big fan. You really hurt us last season.’ Honestly, I truly believe he is one of the best strikers in Belgium, and I’m not just saying that to be polite.”

Alderweireld's remarks further underscore Arokodare's growing reputation as a dominant force in Belgian football.
