Arokodare Set To Lead Super Eagles Attack Against Tanzania As Osimhen Misses Out

The Super Eagles will be without their first-choice striker, Victor Osimhen, who is currently recovering from knee surgery he underwent last week, creating an opportunity for another forward to take responsibility in the attacking department.

According to information from the team’s camp, Arokodare is favoured to start ahead of Coventry City striker Taiwo Awoniyi in the encounter against Tanzania’s Taifa Stars.

The 25-year-old is expected to form a two-man attacking partnership with Akor Adams as Nigeria seek to secure a positive result in the match.

Arokodare’s impressive performances at Ajax have reportedly strengthened his chances of earning a starting position. The Nigerian striker, who is spending the season on loan at the Dutch club from English Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers, has been in excellent form.

He has registered 13 goals and four assists in 17 appearances across all competitions for Ajax this season, making him a strong option to fill the gap left by Osimhen.

According to Bush Radio Academy, the Super Eagles will be counting on Arokodare’s current form and attacking contributions as they prepare for the important AFCON qualifying fixture against Tanzania.
