Ajax seeks permanent deal for Tolu Arokodare from Wolves

Ajax has expressed interest in signing Nigeria forward Tolu Arokodare on a permanent basis from Wolverhampton Wanderers after his impressive performance in the Netherlands. According to Foot Africa, Ajax is proactively negotiating with Wolves for a deal set for 2027.

Arokodare joined Ajax on loan in the summer following a challenging season at Molineux, where Wolves had paid £24 million for him less than a year prior. His time at Wolves was marred by a reported altercation with head coach Cesar Peixoto.

The loan agreement includes an option to buy, contingent on Arokodare's performance. He has made a significant impact at Ajax, scoring nine goals and providing three assists in 14 appearances this season, including goals in five of his last seven Eredivisie matches.

His latest goal contributed to Ajax's 2-1 victory over Sparta Rotterdam, moving them to second in the league standings.
