Ajax to finalize Tolu Arokodare's permanent signing
Ajax is prepared to secure Tolu Arokodare's permanent transfer from Wolverhampton Wanderers, with technical director Jordi Cruyff confirming that a €20m purchase option has been agreed upon. Cruyff stated that Ajax only needs to exercise this option in 2027 to finalize Arokodare's long-term future with the club.
Arokodare joined Ajax in the summer after a challenging period at Wolves, where he struggled to make an impact and reportedly had a disagreement with new head coach Cesar Peixoto. Cruyff expressed satisfaction with Arokodare's performance in Amsterdam, highlighting his good mentality and contributions to the team.
Arokodare has made a strong start at Ajax, scoring 11 goals and providing three assists in 16 appearances, and has become the preferred striker over Brazilian forward Marcos Leonardo, who was signed for €20m.
