Ajax chase Nigeriaanse striker Arokodare as €20m option looms

Ajax are keen to plug a striking void in their forward line, and the Nigeriaanse striker Tolu Arokodare has emerged as a prime target. The Dutch club believes his proven goal‑scoring could rejuvenate an attack that has lacked consistency this season.

Sources say the 25‑year‑old would arrive on loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers, with Ajax shouldering his full wages and a loan fee, while a purchase option reportedly exceeds €20 million.

A report posted today at 14:44 confirmed the move is drawing nearer, and fans have noted the transfer is becoming increasingly concrete.

Compilations of Arokodare’s goals have spread across social platforms, with videos on X showcasing his shots while wearing the KRC Genk shirt, highlighting the striking ability that attracted attention.

His performances in the Belgian competition labelled him one of the most dangerous attackers, a reputation built on consistent net‑finding that has drawn interest from several clubs.

Transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano even uttered his trademark “Here we Go”, and Belgian media reported a medical examination is slated soon, underscoring the deal’s momentum.

If the medical passes, Ajax will finalize the loan fee and retain the option to secure Arokodare permanently, a move that could reshape De Nederlandse attack for the coming season.
