Another striker for Köln:
Tolu Arokodare arrives on loan
By Peter Weis @PeterVicey
A Nigerian teenage developmental prospect comes to the Cathedral City on loan from Lativa.
Arokodare’s strong numbers led him to request a transfer earlier in the summer. It was said that his preferred destination was RSC Anderlecht in Belgium.
Arokodare appeared to have no qualms about settling for Germany instead. “For me, this is a dream come true,” the teenager said in a social media post, “I’ve always wanted to play in the Bundesliga.”
“Tolu is a young developing striker who brings with him many positive attributes,” Köln sporting director Horst Heldt remarked when announcing the transfer, “he’s athletic, fast, and strong on headers. An added advantage is that he’s in form and enthusiastic about joining us.”
