KRC Genk player and Super Eagles striker, Tolu Arokodare, has won the 2024/2025 Ebony Shoe Award in Belgium.
Arokdare won the award meant for the best African player plying his trade in the European country for the campaign on Monday.
The 24-year-old has scored 20 goals in the Belgian Jupiler Pro League and is the second leading goal scorer in the competition.
He helped Genk finish top of the pile in the regular 2024/2025 season, but their campaign suffered a setback in the championship play-offs.
Arokodare became the seventh Nigerian player to win the award. The latest since Paul Onuachu won the prize in 2021.
He won the prestigious award ahead of Noah Sidiki of Union St.Gilloise, Genk teammate Zakaria El Ouahdi, Union Saint-Gillloise star Promise David and compatriot Raphael Onyedika.
Daniel Amokachi, Victor Ikpeba, Godwin Opara and Celestine Babayaro are other Nigerians who have won the award.
