KRC Genk forward Tolu Arokodare has expressed hopes of playing for Nigeria in future.
Arokodare has been a key star for the Smurfs this season, with his goals helping the club to top position in the Belgian Pro League.
The 23-year-old has scored six goals in 10 league appearances for Genk.
Despite his prolific form, he is yet to gain recognition at the international level.
Arokodare was overlooked by Super Eagles head coach Augustine Eguavoen for the team’s upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Libya.
The striker however believed his own time would come.
“We have a huge talent in our attack obviously and the whole squad is full of talent,” he told Tribal Football.
“ I haven’t been contacted by the NFF, but with time, if I keep performing right and doing the right things, I think I will get that call soon, and me not being called up, I think it’s not my time and I think the players that are being called up before me, they worked to be in that position, they deserved every invitation to the Super Eagles. I just need to have patience and work harder.”
