Durosinmi confident Genk can challenge for Belgian Pro League title this season

On September 18, 2026, DAILY POST reported that Nigerian striker Rafiu Durosinmi expressed confidence that his club KRC Genk can challenge for the Belgian Pro League title this season. The Smurfs currently occupy ninth position in the Belgian Pro League table with nine points from six matches, having recorded two wins, three draws, and one defeat. Durosinmi, who has scored five goals in his six league appearances, told Walfoot that the current standing is "absolutely not where we want to be" and insisted he is convinced the team will soon return to the top of the rankings if they improve collectively.

For Nigerian fans following Durosinmi’s European career, his early-season goal form—five goals in six games—signals a strong start and raises expectations that he could become a key attacking threat for Genk. A title challenge would not only elevate the club’s profile but also increase visibility for Nigerian players abroad, potentially influencing future transfers and sponsorships.

While optimism is high, Genk’s current points total leaves them well behind the league leaders, and sustaining a title push will require converting draws into wins and tightening defensive frailties. Do you believe Durosinmi’s optimism is justified given Genk’s present form, or will inconsistencies keep them out of the title race?
