Ajax eye £17m option on Wolves' striker Arokodare to boost attack

Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Tolu Arokodare, 25, is set to join Dutch Eredivisie side Ajax on a season‑long loan that includes a £17 million option to purchase, according to a BBC report highlighted by Anthony Joseph. The move will see the Nigerian forward spend the upcoming campaign in Amsterdam.

Arokodare has featured regularly for Wolves this season, adding depth to their attacking options. His 25‑year‑old profile combines experience in the English Football League with the pace required at the top level.

Ajax have moved to secure Arokodare as they seek to bolster their forward line ahead of the new campaign. The loan, with its purchase clause, is intended to add depth to the Dutch club’s attacking options.

The agreement will only take effect once the loan paperwork is finalised, meaning Wolves must await completion. Wolves will retain the possibility of a £17 million fee if Ajax activate the purchase clause.

Arokodare currently plays as a striker for Wolverhampton Wanderers in the English Football League, where he has been a regular feature this season. His presence is expected to add depth to Ajax’s attacking options once the loan is completed.
