KRC Genk forward Tolu Arokodare is reportedly attracting interest from two Turkish Süper Lig clubs, Galatasaray and Trabzonspor.

Turkish champions Galatasaray have allegedly identified the Nigerian international as a potential replacement for his Super Eagles compatriot Victor Osimhen, who is expected to leave the club at the end of the season.

Osimhen joined the Yellow and Reds on a season-long loan from Napoli last September.

While Galatasaray are eager to secure Osimhen on a permanent deal, the 26-year-old striker is reportedly interested in a move to the Premier League.

Osimhen has been in scintillating form for the Süper Lig giants, netting 28 goals in 32 competitive appearances.

Trabzonspor, on the other hand, came close to signing Arokodare last summer but were unable to meet Genk's valuation for the striker.

Arokodare has been impressive this season, boasting 20 goals and seven assists in 36 competitive appearances for Genk.
