Genk attacker Tolu Arokodare believes his chances of playing Super Eagles will come , adding he is not worried for lack of attention yet since the Super Eagles is not short of quality strikers.
Arokodare who has traversed Latvia, Germany and France is presently in Belgium with Genk and has scored six goals from just 10 league games.
The striker in an interview with Tribalfootball.com said he was yet to be contacted by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) but that he knows it would be difficult to break into the team for now with the Eagles blessed with top attackers playing for top teams in Europe.
The former Box-2-Box player opined that he has not ruled himself out of the team and that he is optimistic he would get a call up soon.
“We have a huge talent in our attack obviously and the whole squad is full of talents. 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,” Arokodare told Tribalfootball.com.

“I just need to have patience and work harder.”
Arokodare is currently top of the goals scorers chart with six goals even though he is level in that position with two other players and his Belgian club is also top of the table with 22 points from 10 games three points ahead of the chasing pack.
The Nigerian expressed admiration at Genk good start to the season and he said he and his teammates would continue to approach every game with the eagerness to record positive results. “It has been amazing for me here knowing that Genk is at the top of the table. I think to have played seven games and won five games is really good and the atmosphere is really great. I’m sure that we will continue to approach each game with positive energy and great morale for the team to continue the winning streak,” he added.
